Robotics evolution
Hi !
Thank you for your interest to my modest project and for supporting this enthusiastic community.
According to Stanislaw’s Lem “Summa Technologiae” robotics civilization should evolve as all biological objects do and therefore after “Mark 1”, which successfully passed home shoes tests, as you could see, there will be “Mark 2” which will use the same chassis but will have sonic sensor instead of IR, pair of photoresistors to be able distinguish light from darkness (or may be good from evil) and may be microphone if noise from motors will not be too loud to mute it. Also I would like to play with servos a little to move sonar around.
Besides that as final step of evolution I am planing “Mark 3” based on android platform with camera and OpenCV on board to react on my gestures, with stepper motors for more accurate positioning and good quality microphone to distinguish voice commands. Now I am choosing stepper motors and drivers for them calculating motor’s torque based on “Mark 3” weight and experimenting with OpenCV basic functions.
All this works will take a lot of time of course as soon as I am also busy with my office job.
Also I will be glad if my first creature will inspire someone to start making robots - this is very interesting and pleasant hobby !
