RT
Series
The
RT Series robot will be a 5' tall robot. It uses two
geartrains from a Power Wheels ride on toy, and two Parallax HB-25
motor controllers for motor control. An Arduino currently
serves as an interface between the Acer One netbook (the same one on
Geoffrey), and the motor control.
Eventually the RT-01 robot will be jam packed with processing power and
sensors. Currently slated is.
1 Microsoft Kinect w/ depth sensor, RGB camera, and 4 microphones
4 other web cameras (2 in the eyes, 1 in the back, and one pointing
down to the ground to track motion)
1 - BeagleBone Black w ARM Cortex @ 1 ghz, 512 mb DDR and 2 gb flash
1 - TI MSP430 @ 25mhz.
1 - Lego Mindstorms NXT brick
1 - Lego Mindstorms RCX brick
1- Core Duo Android Tablet @ 1.2 ghz
These processing systems will be connected together to
provide modularity.
The system will be open source, and both the hardware and
software process will be documented for replication.
More pics and video to come, but here are a few.
