wedge - 3 views

  •  
    Wedge by Chelsea A wedge is a simple machine shaped like an inclined plane. A wedge is actually like a moving inclined plane. An easy way to see how a wedge works is to think of it as an inclined plane standing on its narrow end.

Roomba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 3 views

    • Anthony DiVirgilio
       
      these are some behaviors we could try to program our robots to do
  • generation models have a self-charging homebase they automatically try to find (via its infrared beacons). Charging on the homebase takes about three hours. All second and most third-generation Roombas can be used with the homebase, even if they do not come packaged with it.
  • Four infrared "cliff sensors" on the bottom of the Roomba's bumper prevent it from falling off ledges such as the top steps of stairways. Most second- and third-generation models have internal acoustic-based dirt sensors that allow them to detect particularly dirty spots (zones having excess particulates) and focus on those areas accordingly.

Long-Exposure Shot of a Roomba's Path Shows Beautifully Organized Chaos - 3 views

      shows that the roomba isnt as smart as people think it is, but more uses its random feature
  • while cleaning up. It's beautiful and surprising. I always assumed it worked with using some sort of grid, but that clearly isn't the case at all

    This wouldn't work going up hill at 22.5 degress, and how would we get the nxt brick and the rest of the body to move that fast??
