Otto - build you own robot in two hours!

Primary image

What does it do?

Otto walks, dances, makes sounds and avoids obstacles, is completely open source, Arduino compatible, 3D printable, and with a social impact mission to create an inclusive environment for all kids.

Otto was inspired by another robot instructable BoB the BiPed and programmed using code from another open source biped robot called Zowi.

CC-BY-SA

Otto's differences are in the assembled size (11cm x 7cm x12cm), cleaner integration of components and expressions.

Avoids Danger!

This is my Lumi bug. I was poking aroung looking at my favorite robotsand I though hmmmI have all these parts already and should take advantage of Hurricane Sandy's time off.

 

Love this little guy!

I may improve him or shrink him in the future, for now he is complete.

This is also my first complete robot that recharges and has a tiny arse switch.

Cheers!

SpiDuino

Navigates via Ultrasound, annoys the dogs

"SpiDuino" because of course it's Arduino for brains, and if you watch the end of the video it tries to climb up the wall.  Gets about to 90 degrees, too.  This is a variation on the "Start Here" robot that this site is famous for.  Essentially I wanted to test the base and the SN754410, which I was having trouble with and noted in this node.  Obviously I got it going, but special thanks to ChrisTheCarpenter and Kyle (birdmun) for their guidance.
