Mark Tilden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  •  
    Mark W. Tilden is perhaps most well known for his invention of BEAM robotics. He is a robotics physicist, who produces complex robotic movements from simple logic circuits, often all on the single logic chip and without a microprocessor.

How to free form the Bicore - 0 views

  •  
    The Bicore is one of the easiest BEAM circuits to free form and can be built in 10 to 60 minutes depending on your skill level. I would recommend you read the whole tutorial first, this will GREATLY lower the chance of you making a mistake.

Basis Behaviors - 0 views

  • The basis behavior set of a system provides elements that are not further reducible to each other and that, when composed by sequential or concurrent execution, produce the complete behavior repertoire for the system.
  • Such basis behaviors are constructed, learned, or evolved from stable, robust interaction dynamics between the agent/robot and its environment, and serve as a substrate for the system's more complex behaviors.
  • My work generalized the notion of basis behaviors to multi-robot interactions, and demonstrated how a small set of basis behaviors per robot can be used to demonstrate a rich repertoire of individual and group-level behaviors, including following, flocking, homing, herding, aggregation, dispersion, and formations.
  •  
    In 1991 I introduced the notion of basis behaviors, a means for facilitating principled behavior synthesis and analysis in behavior-based systems.

Facilitating Robot Learning - 0 views

    In our own work, we pursue an experimental approach in two highly uncertain, dynamic, and high-dimensional domains: multi-robot learning, and learning by imitation. Both force us to deal with perceptual and action uncertainty, non-stationarity, and real-t

Retired Robots - The Ants - 0 views

shared by York Jong on 03 Jun 07 - Cached
  •  
    The Ants are a community of cubic-inch microrobots at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab. There are two main goals for this project. The first is to push the limits of microrobotics by integrating many sensors and actuators into a small package. The second is to form a structured robotic community from the interactions of many simple individuals. The inspiration behind this idea comes from nature -- the ant colony.

ROBOT GEARS TUTORIAL - 0 views

  • motors commercially available do not normally have a desirable speed to torque ratio (the main exception being servos and high torque motors with built in gearboxes)
  • With gears, you will exchange the high velocity with a better torque.
  • the larger gear will move more slowly than the smaller gear, but it will move with more torque.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Suppose your gearing ratio is 3/1. This would mean you would multiple your torque by 3 and your velocity by the inverse, or 1/3.
  •  
    No good robot can ever be built without gears. As such, a good understanding of how gears affect parameters such as torque and velocity are very important.

Build this simple "electronic electroscope," a FET electrometer - 0 views

  • This simple circuit can detect the invisible fields of voltage which surround all electrified objects
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • The Gate acts as an antenna, so leave it unconnected.
  • The 1-meg resistor helps protect the FET from being harmed by any accidental sparks to its Gate lead. The circuit will work fine without this resistor. Just don't intentionally "zap" the Gate wire with a charged object or your charged finger.
  • To test the circuit, charge up a pen or a comb on your hair, then wave it close to the little "antenna" wire. The LED should go dark. When you remove the electrified pen or comb, the LED should light up again.
  • If you suspect that humidity is very high, test this by rubbing a balloon or a plastic object upon your arm. If the balloon does not attract your arm hairs, humidity is too high.
  • This FET sensor is not an ideal educational device because it responds differently to positive than to negative.
  • negative objects turn the LED off, it lights again when removed. positive objects make the LED bright, then dark when removed.
  • Obtain a small capacitor with a value below 100 picofarads. Connect it between the FET gate lead and one of the other FET leads (doesn't matter which one.) This greatly reduces the sensitivity of the device
  • Now make the circuit MORE sensitive. Obtain an alligator clip-lead, and connect it to the Gate lead of the FET. Let it hang loose without touching anything. You'll find that this has vastly increased the sensitivity of your FET circuit.

    This simple circuit can detect the invisible fields of voltage which surround all electrified objects. It acts as an electronic "electroscope.

Behavior-Based Control: A Brief Primer - 0 views

  • Note that behaviors themselves can have state, and can form representations when networked together. Thus, unlike reactive systems, behavior-based systems are not limited in their expressive and learning capabilities.
  •  
    Behavior-based controllers consist of a collection of behaviors. Behaviors are processes or control laws that achieve and/or maintain goals.

Anybots的機器人德克斯特學習行走 - 0 views

  • 德克斯特是第一个动力平衡的两足机器人,即第一个像我们一样行走的机器人
  • 突破是戏剧性地改进了测量机器人重心位置的传感器。他说,并不是商业陀螺仪就是足够好,所以他建造了他自己的,同时它还有助于减轻脚部重量
  • 当德克斯特能抬起一只脚而不跌倒时,我们都非常兴奋,因为这意味着离行走是不远了
  •  
    動力平衡方式行走,也是我們的行走方式,要更難一些。當我們這樣做時看起來相當平穩,但是落腳實際上是經過控制的。在任何一個特定時刻,你不得不考慮(或者至少你的身體這樣做了)你
