The Bluetooth Boe-Bot Robot Kit for Microsoft Robotics Studio (MSRS) is a Parallax Boe-Bot Robot and an A7 Engineering eb500-SER Bluetooth module. The eb500 module makes it possible for the Boe-Bot robot’s BASIC Stamp 2 microcontroller brain to communicate wirelessly with MSRS running on a nearby PC. The BASIC Stamp microcontroller runs a small PBASIC program that controls the Boe-Bot robot’s servos and optionally monitors sensors while it communicates wirelessly with MSRS.
This tutorial comes from ikalogic.com and may be become good choice for new comers. I think the electronic and the program is good enough to make the robot running smoothly… You just need to change the mechanism… use motor with gearbox like solarbotics motor GM8, GM17 etc to make easy acceleration when robot in turn [...]
DC Motors which need high current and high voltage usually give high velocity and high torque. For small robots like line follower robot or fire fighting robot, I think IC motor driver L298 (up to 2A total current) is better choice. While for large and heavy robot, you need high current DC motors also H-Bridge [...]
The motors as actuator device is very and very important to understand. There are many things need to be calculated… velocity, torque, motor voltage and motor current. There is nice post from societyofrobotics about DC Motors. The most important one is about torque… I’ve so confused about choosing DC motors for my robot and now [...]
Ant robots are simple and cheap robots with limited sensing and computational capabilities. This makes it feasible to deploy teams of ant robots and take advantage of the resulting fault tolerance and parallelism. Ant robots cannot use conventional planning methods due to their limited sensing and computational capabilities. Rather, their behavior is driven by local [...]
