Hy friends,am working on a personal robot project.i call it saso16.it has a gps,visual sensor,preasure sensor,voice regnociation function.bt i want to be able to get these feed on a laptop from the robot.please any idea
@Usiosefe osaze paul Please create a new topic on the RobotShop Forum (with additional details about your project) and we would be happy to help you.
Hi, I would like to know what sensors would be best for my robot. Here are it’s basic qualities:
-The robot needs to turn right or left when it sees an obstruction. It should not crash into the obstruction
-What sensors are appropraite and are also not too complex to program.
@Navein Suresh A simple analog IR distance sensor should work well and is easy to use: https://www.robotshop.com/en/sharp-gp2d12-ir-range-sensor-cable.html
Hi, One part of my robot as a small mop/cleanner. What sensor would be best, so that when the robot touches carpet, the cleaner moves upwards and away, while if the robot touches a hardwood floor, the cleaner comes on and touches the floor. In addition, Mentioned by you in the previous comment, will that infarred sensor be able to detect a hole(were the robot could potentionally falll down), and tell the robot to move away
Sorry for the questions, but I plan on making it start like car. So how would I make the on/off switch just turn on the system without urning on anything else such as motors and cleaners. Then after it is on, I plan on initiated or to make the robot to start its motors and drive by using a clapp signal from my hands. Could this be done by a sound sensor? Once the sound is recgonized will it alert the motor to drive mode.
@Navein Suresh Detecting surface type is not easy; consider measuring the current draw of the motors (carpet is harder to travel on) and regular distance sensors. If there is a distinct difference in reflectance, that might help as well. Consider aspects which make the floors different and see if there are sensors for each characteristic.
@Navein Suresh That will depend entirely on the code. Clapping your hands to make it move means the motors are already connected. When you power the robot, the code should not make the motors turn.
Can any one helpme in coding a Time to digital converter using GP22 using arduino uno
sending configuration ,calibrating measurement ,readinig the results
Is it possible to program the robot to move an object without actually touching the object?
I want to know using which technology I can make a robot which starts run when someone touches his hands ??? any idea that what sensors i have to use and anything else
@Jagdish If it can be “any” touch (i.e. does not absolutely need to be human), then a simple push button would work well to execute a stored program.
I love all your lectures. I am interested to teach my students for their robotics subject but I am new in this field. I dont really have the knowledge. Can you help me? Any advice please.
@Kennie In a school setting, it’s best not to jump to a full custom robot and instead choose a robot kit which the students can assemble. A follow-up course after that might involve more customization. https://www.robotshop.com/en/robot-kits.html
If your’e interested in knowing about the different types of sensors in robots, i suggest this great article
