Programmable Robots

Aibo

I think I don't need to say much about Aibo. It is so famous around the world now. By the way, my Aibo is the very first model - ERS 110.

Cye

I have set up my Cye at home. It is fun to play with and I can navigate it around my apartment. When I got time to set up the map, it should be more useful.

Hexapod II

Hexapod II is a robot manufactured by Lynxmotion. I have just finished building an IR obstacle detector for it. The detector is working now. The next step is to connect it to the Basic Stamp and write a program to use the detector.

Rug Warrior

Rug Warrior is a small autonomous mobile robot designed for educators, researchers, and hobbists from A.K.Peters. Besides the shaft encoder, it is functioning properly. It is about time to start writing some programs for it to do some 'intelligent' things. I have purchased a ultra-sonic distance sensor for it too. I put together but it is not working. I am looking for time to find out what has gone wrong.
