Reversing a motor without use of sensors - 0 views

  • The motor is driven in either the forward or reverse direction, but will swap polarity if the motor encounters too sudden or great of a load
  •  
    The sensorless reversing circuit is used for driving one motor of a wheeled robot. The motor is driven in either the forward or reverse direction, but will swap polarity if the motor encounters too sudden or great of a load.

How to freeform the H-bridge - by Brian Hendrickson - 0 views

  •  
    Most of us are familiar with Beckingham's photovore block (also known as Chiu's). The following is a similar format used for freeforming a simple H-bridge motor driver that can be used for walkers, heads, and any other project that uses motors that requir

BEAM Circuits -- 74*24x-based motor drivers compared - 0 views

  • In many ways, both the 74*240 and 74*245 are equally handy for BEAM use; both have 20 pins, and so the main difference that most folks will care about is that one inverts drive inputs, while the other doesn't. Out of curiousity, I decided to torture test the two chips to see how they compared under load.

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.

PROGRAMMING - PID CONTROL - 0 views

  • The only time you will need this term is when acceleration plays a big factor with your robot. If your robot is really heavy, or gravity is not on it's side (such as steep hills), then you will need the integral term.
  • The sampling rate is the speed at which your control algorithm can update itself.
  • To increase sampling rate, you want an even faster update of sensor readings, and minimal delay in your program loop.

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.

MECHANICS - ROBOT CHASSIS CONSTRUCTION - 0 views

  • Large diameter wheels give your robot low torque but high velocity. So if you already have a very strong motor, then you can use wheels with larger diameters.
  • But if your motor is weak (such as if it does not have any gearing), you want to use a much smaller diameter wheel. This will make your robot slower, but at least it has enough torque to go up a hill!
  • Wheel width. You do not want it too wide as it causes increased resistance to rotating the wheel on a surface.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Make sure you get a motor which already has a gear box attached, as it makes your robot much better controlled, more efficient, and stronger.
  •  
    This robot tutorial should help you with the mechanical aspect of building your very first robot. You should have already read my build your first robot tutorial before moving on to this tutorial.

Robot Programming : A Practical Guide to Behavior-Based Robotics - 0 views

  • Behavior-based robotics is quite simply the design of robots where there are no internal "models" of the environment. Instead, the robot's action is state-machine driven via inputs gleaned from the robot's sensors.
  •  
    Jones, one of the inventors of the first widely adopted consumer robot,introduces the history and theory behind behavior-based programming, teaches skills needed for programming a robot, and provides readers with a virtual robot on a web site to test prog
