Polymorph head ,IR extension and side panels!!!

IR extension

Just my first start here robot with SRF05 for obstacle avoidance and the Sharp IR so it doesnt fall into any holes! For now i plan on adding a speaker and a few more leds but eventually want to make it much smaller so it can navigate my desk and add self charging capabilities.

Navigates via sonar, Sharp IR and avoids all obstacles

Cool robot!
I like it, especially his compact look!

Well build!!

well build bot…

compact…i like compact…

u could put the sharp sensor a bit closer just outside,above the srf05.

 

great work…

Really cool!
It’s great getting a robot to avoid falling off an edge, good job. It seems though, that this is using a long range Sharp, GP2Y0A02YK or something, within it’s minimum range. Doesn’t this Sharp have a strange behavior within 8" (20cm) ?

Nice!!!
Ah, a robot that won’t try and kill itself by driving off the edge of a table… very nice work!

Thanks. Ya it did at first
Thanks. Ya it did at first (its a 2Y0A02) but i added a 10uf elec cap right to the back of the sensor and although its really sensitive at that range it still works great.

looks great, never thought
looks great, never thought of using a sharp as an edge detector.
