A robotic system, temporarily
attached to a mobile base. The central processor has 16 "ports".
Each port can control a motor, a couple of switches or an
intelligent peripheral - the intelligent peripherals shown are
sonar, a keypad and a decimal display. The Windows programming
software is a graphical behaviour-based editor. The editor
components can be extended by third-pert developers. |
 |
An alternative chassis design. We
were trying to design a mobile chassis which could be produced
cheaply in small quantities. |
 |
A fake robot built as
a "concept" model for a client. The grippers open and
close but are uselessly weak. |
 |
A minimal walking robot, just two
motors, two antennae, a sounder, a pcb and 4xAAA cells, held
together with sticky-fixers. It walks well and looks very cute. |
 |
A "spider" version of
the Brainibot. |
 |
The robotic system, temporarily
attached to a Lego arm. The arm has various sensors and s/w
servos. |
 |
A program-by-example system with
four bump-sensors, two motors a light-sensor and a sounder. The
light-sensor can also be used as a line follower. Quite complex
programs can be entered via the various sensors. The same
program can also be downloaded from a PC. |
 |
A six-legged walker with akerman
steering. Akerman steering works well if the walker is longer
than it is wide. Getting the drive to the steering front legs is
tricky. |
 |
A two-legged walker which can't
steer at all. |
 |
A nicely engineered Brainibot - if
only we could buy these chassis by the hundred ... |
