to mark as completed My first robot
Hallo LMR community!
After following your great projects for over one year, it's time to submit my first robot. As long as I can remember, I was always been interested in robots. Thanks to arduino now I'm able to build my own robots.
Step 1
It is a simple rover that uses an ultrasonic sensor on a servo to detect obstacles, and two continuous rotation servos to drive. The chassis is made from aluminium.
Step 2
- added yoghurt cup as body to protect robot's life from my little son ;-)
- added a accu pack with charging jack
- changed the the ultrasonic sensor on the servo agains two static ultrasonic sensors
- added a red/green LED's as eyes for signal the obstacles state
- added a audio shield for arduino (http://www.elv.de/audio-shield-fuer-arduino-asa1-bausatz.html) with 2 8ohm speakers
- added a ir proximity sensor as floor sensor
Front view:
- R/G LEDs behind the eyes
- 2 ultrasonic sesors
- 1 ir sensor at the bottom
Rear view:
- power switch on the top (on-postion for robot driving off-position for charging)
- charging jack
Top view:
- the USB socket is behind a cover, hence comfortable USB-connection is possible
Inner view:
I'll try to upload a video with the speaking demo of the robot.
UPDATE 2014-06-28
I've uploaded the video of the sound test. You'll also see the crash marks of the crash between my son and the robot.
