- | ===== Overview ===== | ||
- | |||
- | I recently came across parts of a robot system that turned out to be parts of a "Mr. General" type robot platform. "//Mr.General is a general purpose robotic platform that uses a bread board to work with almost any processor. An IR compound eye mounted on a pan/tilt assembly can be used to track moving objects or as a simple range finder. IR sensors on the corners can detect obstacles or edges.// " | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Hardware description ===== | ||
- | The hardware I have consists of a mainboard, 2 servo motors, and a tilt/swivel bracket with an infrared 'compound eye'. The mainboard has a prototyping area, corner mounted infrared transmitter/receiver sensors, power regulators, motor driver chips, status LEDs and LED driver chip and many extension plug/sockets. | ||
- | |||
- | The tilt/swivel bracket, servos and compound eye form the 'head' of the robot, and with suitable software allow the robot to track objects close to it (< 200mm). | ||
