Do you know Orocos..? Orocos is a C++ framework for component-based robot control software, of course this is an open source software.
Orocos is the acronym of the Open Robot Control Software project. The project’s aim is to develop a general-purpose, free software, and modular framework for robot and machine control. The Orocos project supports 4 C++ libraries: the Real-Time Toolkit, the Kinematics and Dynamics Library, the Bayesian Filtering Library and the Orocos Component Library.

This is one of may videos of Indonesian Fire Fighting Robot Contest for expert division. I’ve tried to participate in Legged Fire Fighting Robot senior division for the first time… but , I’ve failed… still need more knowledge about many sensor, mechanics and programming…
This is my first line follower robot:
Sensor : 5 photodiodas sensor
Motor : Modified motor servo
Microcontroller : Atmel AT89S52
Motor Driver : L293D
Comparator chip : LM324
I’ve build the second line follower robot using 7 photodioda sensor and microcontroller AT89S52… the movement is quite fast and running smoothly…
The third line follower robot has been built using 7 photodioda sensor, microcontroller ATMega8535 and motor driver L298N… already running OK but need suit DC motor to make the movement faster…
Three Laws of Robotics are a set of three rules written by Isaac Asimov, which almost all positronic robots appearing in his fiction must obey. Introduced in his 1942 short story “Runaround”, although foreshadowed in a few earlier stories, the Laws state the following:
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
MANASSAS, VA.- Employees from Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) recently mentored more than 1,000 students from Prince William County and surrounding area schools during the For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) Robotics Competition and Tech Challenge events.
The FIRST program is designed to inspire young people to pursue careers in science and technology. FIRST Robotics Competition and FIRST Tech Challenge teams include engineers and other professionals from some of the world
In a short article, New Scientist reports that researchers at Virginia Tech University have developed a tripedal experimental robot. With its three legs, this robot, named STriDER — short for ‘Self-excited Tripedal Dynamic Experimental Robot’ — is actually more stable than 2- or 4-legged robots. As said another researcher, ‘It’s like a biped with a walking stick.’ This robot is intended to deploy sensors and cameras in difficult-to-access areas.
STriDER has been developed under the supervision of Dennis Hong, an assistant professor at Virginia Tech and director of the Robotics and mechanisms Laboratory (RoMeLa). You can see above the various components of this robot. (Credit: Virginia Tech University)
