to mark as completed Robotic Disk Platform
This is my next planned robot. It's based on pieces from the self balancing robot, that will be sadly recycled.
Components:
- Brain: Arduino diecimila
- Motor Driver: MD23 Dual 12Volt 3Amp H Bridge Motor Drive
- Motors: EMG30
- Battery: 12V scooter battery
- Chassis: 2 circular plexyglass panels
It will be a general platform with enought room to experiment whatever comes in my mind :) I already planned some things, like remote control based on ZigBee links, mapping software, a remote tv camera, etc..
Here's the first picture :)
Early design:
My Dremel-cutted plexyglass, it's a circle precise to about 1 mm :) It has still the protective film on:
Some fitting test. Doesn't it looks like the 3d rendering ? :)
The two disks:
Detail of the third wheel mounting:
Navigate around, possibly mapping
- Actuators / output devices: 2 * EMG30
- Control method: autonomous, remote controlled via ZigBee
- CPU: Arduino diecimila
- Power source: 12V motorocycle battery.
- Programming language: Arduino Processing
- Sensors / input devices: Sharp IR
- Target environment: indoor, easy outdoor
