Some Robots

I love robots. Here are some.

• GBot (2004). This was part of my final thesis. I made it with scratch parts and aluminum profiles, using mainly a saw, a file and a drill (at this time I don’t had a lathe or milling machine). I programed (C) this robot to search and collect cans. It’s based on a AVR microcontroller.

• Line follower (2004). I build two of this toys for my university robotics lab. Making competitions between student teams was fun. It’s based on a PIC microcontroller (16F628).

• Scorbot. I buy this toy on 2008. It was disassembled, cleaned, fixed, and reassembled. It’s in working condition, but calibration is needed before delving into programming. Some day I plan to make a plataform and continue playing with it.

• An industrial robot from a university exhibition. Very nice.

If there’s someone interested in robot circuits, here are:

• Gbot main
• Gbot motor control
• Gbot sensor
• Gbot magnetic gripper
• Follower main
