Crazy Robot
1st Stage - Robot Platform
This is my first robot. I use arduino Decimila for the brain and Tamiya twin motor gearbox. Sensor is Sharp IR connected to a servo. At this moment it is an obstacle avoidance robot.The robot will be use as a base for the later stage of my work. Already i have some problem with the robot. It seem that arduino seem to go crazy when i use battery to power it. I dont know what the prolem is. I am thinking maybe because i am using only a single 9v battery to power both the arduino and the motor.
2nd Stage (
Here, My plan is to make a wireless control robot using a pair of xbee for data transfer and put a camera on the robot. For the camera, i will be using my e51 mobile phone to send images via bluetooth and can be viewed on the computer using free wwigo software.The reason is i cant afford to buy CMU cam. I am waiting for my scholarship allowance to buy the arduino with xbees.
3rd Stage(Ideas)
I've been thinking maybe i could get roborealm software to grab the video from wwigo application and do some motion tracking with it. I have downloaded and test the roborealm software. So far the roborealm has been working well but i need to learn more. I've also tried to get the Roborealm to grab the feed from wwigo. So far no success yet. Any ideas are welcome.
Cheers
