What does it do?

simple navigation by proximity check using a sonar

The 2 images below was my first attempt at a robot using fritsl's guide. After my first attempt i felt ashamed of how flimsy and goofy the robot looked.

So I broke it apart and re-did it!

PhilBot (Aspiring Phil Collins Robot)

What does it do?

Drives around and finds something to drum on, while avoiding walls.

After seeing so many great drumming robots on LMR, I figured it was time for me to build one of my very own. I have never built a robot, or done anything quite like this, so this will be a learning process. I bought an Arduino a month or so back after reading about it constantly in my favorite magazine, MAKE. With a little help from TheCowGod, who also used the Arduino in his drumming robot, I have put together the start of PhilBot.

OFR (Object Following Robot)

What does it do?

Follow an Infared beam around

I have been having this idea in my mind for awhile. Now I want to get it out and put it on the drawing board.

OFR is a robot that follows a specific infared siginal around and around where ever it goes!

I'll give updates on my progress

I have made an infared emmiter from some parts and it emmits a 38kHz. This will be what the robot will follow.

How to build your first robot - Part III - Get a grip!

fritsl — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 10:23:08 -0400

This is part III of a series I call “How to build your first robot”.

This part is not so much instructions of how to build & program, that was in Part I-II.

To finalize Part I-II, I will just say; I may put “construction time” to a few hours when entering a robot. And it is possible to make a robot in 10 minutes if you have the materials in front of you.

How to build your first robot - Part II - navigation

fritsl — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 10:32:52 -0400

This is Part II of How to build your first robot - tutorial.

you can just take the cool navigation-code in here and have fun with it, or you can follow the whole instruction, or the parts that you like. I try to make it as general and open as possible.

Here is part III of this tutorial - I recomend that you browse this as well!

Progress:

You have made a robot, something like this: How to build your first robot
