How is a tiny braitenberg vehicle robot made? by Alexander Weber

It weighs 17 gramms, is driven by two pager motors, powered by a small lipo cell and controlled by an 8-pin ATtiny25V.  Pretty isn’t it? After reading this post you can build this amazing robot on your own. First, i want to explain what exactly braitenberg robot is?

Braitenberg vehicle : A Braitenberg vehicle is an agent that can autonomously move around. It has primitive sensors (measuring some stimulus at a point) and wheels (each driven by its own motor) that function as actuators or effectors. A sensor, on its simpler form, is directly connected to an effector, so that a sensed signal immediately produces a movement of the wheel. Depending on how sensors and wheels are connected, the vehicle exhibits different behaviors (which can be goal-oriented). This means that it appears to strive to achieve certain situations and to avoid others, changing course when the situation changes.^{[1] Devamını gör…}

The ROPID Robot

Why we use resistor while we are driving leds.

I came across a very nice article at tinkerlog.com explaining why you need to use a current limiting resistor to power your leds. They say:
In this post I will try to show, why it’s a good idea to use a current limiting resistor for an LED. And when it’s safe to drive the LED without any resistor.

If you read about LEDs, you will notice that everyone tells you, that you need a current limiting resistor. But mostly they do not tell you why.

How a Drawdio is made?

Drawdio is a pencil that lets you draw music. Imagine you could draw musical instruments on normal paper with any pencil (cheap circuit thumb-tacked on) and then play them with your finger. The Drawdio circuit-craft lets you MacGuyver your everyday objects into musical instruments: paintbrushes, macaroni, trees, grandpa, even the kitchen sink… Devamını gör…

Make your own halloween wounds and prosthetics.

If you like DIY style stuffs you will love this. The idea is simple and easy to make. Here is step by step explanation.

Step 1: To make a wound with liquid latex, first make sure the application area is clean and dry. Apply a thin layer of latex a little larger than the size you’d like your cut to be, taking into consideration how much “skin” you want flapping around. Wait until the latex is completely dry, which generally won’t take more than 10 minutes.

Step 2: Once the latex is dry, disguise the line between latex and skin. This is done by applying makeup color with a stipple sponge. Use a light hand; you can always go back and add more. If you’d like a clean cut without bruising or too much discoloration, use various hues of natural skin tones. For a bruised area, use mustard yellow, dark red, dark purple — the colors in your “injury stack” of makeup. Devamını gör…

Microsoft RDS includes a programming model that makes it easy to develop asynchronous, state-driven applications. Microsoft RDS provides a common programming framework that can be applied to support a wide variety of robots, enabling code and skill transfer.

Microsoft RDS includes a lightweight asynchronous services-oriented runtime, a set of visual authoring and simulation tools, as well as templates, tutorials, and sample code to help you get started. Devamını gör…

The brain may finally reveal the neural secret of cognitive ability.

Brain map: Software called BrainLab analyzes data collected during a specialized MRI scan of the author’s brain in order to create a neural wiring map. The image shows a cross-section. Specific subsets of wires are highlighted (the color indicates the direction of the wiring going through that slice). The cross-sections are computationally stitched together to create a three-dimensional image.  Credit: Andrew Frew/Brainlab

PETMAN | Boston dynamics’ s new robot.

PETMAN is an anthropomorphic robot for testing chemical protection clothing used by the US Army. Unlike previous suit testers, which had to be supported mechanically and had a limited repertoire of motion, PETMAN will balance itself and move freely; walking, crawling and doing a variety of suit-stressing calisthenics during exposure to chemical warfare agents. PETMAN will also simulate human physiology within the protective suit by controlling temperature, humidity and sweating when necessary, all to provide realistic test conditions.

Natural, agile movement is essential for PETMAN to simulate how a soldier stresses protective clothing under realistic conditions. The robot will have the shape and size of a standard human, making it the first anthropomorphic robot that moves dynamically like a real person.

The development program has a 13 month design phase followed by a 17 month build, installation and validation phase, with delivery of the robot taking place in 2011. Boston Dynamics’ partners for the program are Midwest Research Institute (MRI), Measurement Technology Northwest, Smith Carter CUH2A (SCC) and HHI Corporation who will construct the chamber.
