In this post I am going to show how to use an Arduino board and BitVoicer Server to control a few LEDs with voice commands. I will be using the Arduino Micro in this post, but you can use any Arduino board you have at hand.
The following procedures will be executed to transform voice commands into LED activity:
Hello everyone, I’ve posted a lot on LMR, and I build robots for a living, but this is the first time I’ve built a personal robot that I’m able to tell you all about. First off, I got this idea from Fritsl (http://letsmakerobots.com/node/928 ) and I decided I wanted to build a pair of wall racers for my nephew who has always asked me to build him some robots. If you’ve never heard of a wall racer it is a modified RC car with two sonars, one pointing forward the other pointing to one side.
My first attempt to build and run a quadruped. Parts of laser cut acrylic. Powered with an arduino uno and sensorshield. Total of 12 micro- servo's, partially metal geared. It proved very difficult to align the servo's right. It walked, it turned. But was abandoned after I blew up most of the servo's by feeding them 7,4 Volts instead of 5 :P
Anyway, it's pretty much a copy of this one: http://letsmakerobots.com/node/34412
I had to use 3mm acrylic, because the lasercut firm had no 4 mm available.
I saw a tutorial that Ro-Bot-X did on controlling a robot with homemade IR Sensors so i decided to try it. I am using two 38KHz IR Reveivers from RadioShack and two IR LEDs from Radio Shack.
This is my first robot project though I have been working with Microcontrollers and Embedded Linux for a little while. As of writing (3/1/13) this is still very much a work in progress, but most of the hardware construction has been completed. This robot will provide a remotely controlled, mobile platform for a pan/tilt webcam. It is based on the excellent Tamiya Tracked Chassis Kit with the Dual DC Motors connected to the Arduino Motor Shield R3 via the Screw Terminal.
I managed to finish my first robot on witch I spent a lot of time, mostly because a lot of stuff was new to me. It is not very complicated but it seems to do it's job well. I posted everything about the build on my blog and also the parts I used (and the ones I rejected).
It is a Tamiya tracked platform with dual gearbox. I used an Arduino UNO and a SeeedStudio motor shield to drive it from a 11.7 lipo battery I had from my RC heli. It uses a Ultrasonic sensor to look in front and also a DIY IR sensor for backing up. I also added a temperature sensor for the fun of it.
Introducing Strike'm,a robot that simply Strikes you out.
So,this is the Tic tac toe robot I have built. Actually inspired from Oddbots challenge,I have made this .
I decided to keep it original. From my point of view ORIGINALITY has two aspects,
1. The game should be kept original, i.e. you have to use a pen and paper,play it,win it or lose it.
2. The robot should be original. i.e. It must not be a copied stuff from some one.
Strike'm satifies both aspects,I think.
So,now here's some pics. This time I have used some ply-wood along with cardboard.
After some weeks of browsing this website, I felt inspired to built something, so, here is the first robot that I'm currently working on.
The idea of this project is to have a platform that can be controlled remotely or work autonomously. For the initial fase, I'm working on some basic remote programmed on Processing, which send commands to the robot via bluetooth (using controlP5 for the UI, and bluetoothDesktop to handle bt communication).
I found some micro servos lying around and thought of making this robotic arm. I had some broken blinds and got the bracket to use for the servos and some scrap plastics in my toolbox. Its a prototype for my upcoming bigger robotic arm with better servo. I added nunchuck control for manual control. In the future I will be adding sensors maybe mounting the arduino underneath the box . Im happy with the result and will be making more! I had more projects going on and this is one of them.
Didnt spend anything in building this. Hope you like it.
