I am new to this field of robotics. I dreamed to build a robot since I was a kid. This week I ordered the SES V1.1 robot kit. I would like to know if it is possible to build a humanoid robot from this set. I mean robots from robo-one competitions or like Kondo KHR-2HV Humanoid or BIOLOID from robotshop.
What I would like to know more is what do I need to buy more if I want to build a humanoid robot with the following specifications:
-when it falls I want the robot to get up
-i want it to do push ups
-do fighting moves (punching, kicking)
-sit on one leg, or sit on his hands, or do round ups
Above all, I would like this robot to be fast, but if the weight won’t allow it, then its fine.
I would like to know how hard to configure the robot to move is, like programming and finding codes.
-I am very sorry for my bad English, please forgive me
If I ever make a good robot, I will post my codes and “art work”.
Honestly we have never tried. Note that you can build the BRAT biped, which uses three servos per leg. If you added a servo in the waist so the leg rotated, it would help with walking, and then you might consider another in the knee (total of 10 servos so far). You can add the more powerful servo in the waist (805BB perhaps), and create a 2DoF arm using the remaining 422 servos, and a left arm using the 755. Most starter humanoids have at least 18-20 DoF, so if you wanted to reproduce, say, the Kondo, you would need to add some additional 422 servos and perhaps some brackets. Use the 645MG servos in the legs. robotshop.com/en/kondo-khr-3 … t-kit.html
Hope this gives you some ideas. Note that it will be up to you to code it, since we do not have any full humanoid kits at this time. What the SES kit will allow you to do is to get used to what is involved in creating and coding a robot. You’ll realize that although it may be fun to quickly put together a humanoid kit and upload some default code, understanding why it’s made like it is and what the code actually does will benefit you far more.
Certainly. If you are new to robotics, start simple (the 2WD robot), then perhaps the arm, then the biped etc. You can always add additional sensors (Arduino is compatible with almost everything).
I almost finished the Humanoid biped, Biped Pete, but I am not sure what board should I use. SSC-32 or Arduino ? I want to control it with the ps2 controller. Is there any code for Biped Pete?
I am not sure, but do these board accept the same kind of codes?
I will do the Brat robot tomorrow, but I wish to know if I can configure the SSC-32 via Bluetooth, because I do not have a serial to usb cable. I tried to connect my pc to the SSC-32 through bluetooth, but it can’t detect anything. I made only the legs and torso of the Biped Pete, and I am using the 9v bat and the 6v bat. When I power these two or either one of the batteries, only the D1 led turned green.
You can start with the SSC-32 and FlowBotics Studio - it’s still PS2 control but via the computer. When you’re comfortable with that, change it for the BotBoarduino. Same code is available in the assembly guide.
No - the SSC-32 is just a servo controller and accepts commands as opposed to code. The BotBoarduino is a full microcontroller and accepts Arduino.
Did you connect the Bluetooth module to the breakout board, connect the breakout board to the SSC-32 serial and then power it by connecting the wires from under the board to the + and - pins on the SSC-32: lynxmotion.com/images/jpg/ss … etooth.jpg
Note that you also need to change the baud rate.
Thank you. You were right, I did not power up the bluetooth card. Now, I am looking for a code for BotBoardinio for Biped Pete, but I cant find it anywhere.
I have a great idea though: add wings, something I didn’t see before. I managed to get 2 rc helicopter motors for wings.
We do not have any sample code for the Biped Pete, however if you use the SSC-32 servo controller board and the SSC-32 Sequencer project in FlowBotics Studio, you should be able to make some servo patterns that allow your Pete to start walking pretty quickly: first make some basic patterns like move forward, move backward, turn left and turn right, and then make some more advanced patterns using the basic patterns as building blocks.
I will start to learn a programming language tomorrow. Which one is the best for a noob like me to write codes for BotBoarduino, or which one is the easiest and fastest for BotBoarduino?
The BotBoarduino only supports the C/C++ programming language. Fortunately, it works exactly the same way as the Arduino board does, so you can download the Arduino IDE software from the Arduino website and start learning to program the BotBoarduino using the Arduino Samples (included in the software under the File->Samples menu) and can also find other Arduino Tutorials online.
