Make an Arduino-Controlled Robot Michael Margolis

Building robots that sense and interact with their environment used to be tricky. Xhouse is the first IOS App of Living Intelligence System designed for DIYer, Arduino player and electronics enthusiast. APC's enhanced Rolly, arduino mini robot. Of RK-1 kits start at £150 ($234 U.S.). In fact, many folks have already been taking advantage of the hugely popular Arduino DIY computing platform as you can tell by the example we quoted, while some others have used it to build robots in addition to a range of other computing devices. The control board on the robot is built on the Arduino hardware/software architecture, which is open source, and the controller software and hardware will also be available open source. Reblogged from TechCrunch: London-based roboticist Evangelos Georgiou wants to offer an open-source platform for helping Arduino hobbyists take their projects mobile, thanks to a remote controlled robot called the RK-1 that combines a programmable Arduino microcontroller with apps for iPhone or It's a project that could really help out with home hobbyists, or with education workshops and classes to get people young and old more interested in robotics. Arduino It will come equipped with a motor board that will assist the robot in getting around, while a control board features sensors which will enable the device to figure out just where it is and where it is headed to. These motors are basically 'dumb' motors — they have just two connectors for power. Absolutely not, we can be sure to tell you: such a network is so easy that you can make it just with an Arduino controller, several sensors and relays. Rolly, our first autonomous microbot, now enhanced to do While the Arduino controller can handle interfacing with LEDs, servo motors and ultrasonic sensors, what it can't do is directly control standard DC motors. Designed to make microcontrollers - tiny computers capable of real-time input-output operations often used to drive robots or read sensor data - accessible to non-programmers, Arduino was founded in 2005 by Massimo Banzi and an Arduino Leonardo can do, the Yún includes integrated Wi-Fi connectivity - something that previous Arduinos have lacked, requiring expensive add-on boards known as 'shields' to obtain - for both programming and direct control. Of course, you also need a smart phone, like iphone. Darren Yates continues to look at how to build a robot from scratch using Arduino, plus how to use it to capture mobile video. It's an ambitious product, but its founder has both the software and hardware know-how to make it happen, and this could be a very welcome component for robotics home hobbyists and educators.
