(OAWR) Obstacle Avoiding Walking Robot

ClementFletchersPlace — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 02:52:20 GMT

Make your own OAWR (Obstacle Avoiding Walking Robot). For more details on how to make your own please see this Instructable ( http://www.instructables.com/id/EQS9CJSF9N26KLO/ ) (Note: this is for the acrylic pieces only (no motor, bolts, wires, etc)) (Note 2: The design has changed slightly since photos were taken, this was done to allow all the pieces to fit onto a smaller piece of acrylic (and reduce the cost), as a result the parts you will receive will appear slightly different from those pictured) (Note 3: Free EPS version of this design can be found here ( http://www.ponoko.com/showroom/ClementFletchersPlace/-oawr-obstacle-avoiding-walking-robot-418 )

SHARP BOT

AZEITRON-DESIGNS — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 04:23:43 GMT

The Sharp Bot is capable of real-time analog-to-digital distance detection and phototrophic light detection aka "attraction to light". Utilizing 3 Sharp GP2D12 Infrared Sensors it can detect objects as close as 1cm by method of triangulation. By using triangulation to detect the distance a small linear CCD array detector is positioned 3/4 of an inch away from an IR emitter and is used to compute the distance and/or presence of the IR reflection in the field of view. If the IR light reflects off an object, it returns to the detector and creates a triangle between the point of reflection, the emitter, and the detector. The angles in this triangle vary based on the distance to the object, and from those angles, the distance to the object can be calculated. This method of ranging is almost immune to interference from ambient light and offers amazing indifference to the color of object being detected. Also dual on-board CDS (Cadmium Sulfate) photocells are placed front left/right. For detecting light Sharp Bot uses photocells arranged in series with a 4.7kΩ resistor as part of a potential divider with the ADC measuring the voltage across the photocell which allows the robot to follow a flashlight in hand or find the nearest light source (eg. lamp, sunlight) even when it's path is littered with objects! Can run even quicker with lights-out. Great speed, awesome detection, dazzling light effects, single cell powered, long running times and full auto-protection circuitry make for one intelligently advanced robot. Can be entered in local robotic contests for competition and prizes. Can be programmed to detect objects very closely or from a distance. You can specify a pre-programmed distance if you prefer. Robot shown in Blue PVC Plastic but can be built in your choice of Clear or Bronze Lexan which is the ultimate in durability. The Sharp Bot includes: 16Mhz Atmega32 Processor Board 3 x Sharp GP2D12 Infrared Distance Sensors 2 x CDS Photocells, 1 x 2Amp Micro Dual Serial Motor Controller w/Heatsink Tamiya 70618 38:1 Dual Motor Gearbox 2 x Torque-Tuned Hi-Performance Motors 3.7V Lithium Ion 1300maH Battery Spare 3.7V Lithium Ion 875maH Battery Push-Button On/Off switch Multi-color changing rainbow LED with Color Blend Removable Serial Jumper for Motor Cut-off during programming. Reverse Polarity Protection Overcurrent Auto-Shut Down Protection Thermal Auto-Shut Down Protection Inductive Transient Motor Protection
