A PDA Enabled Wireless Interface for a Mobile Robot

June 25, 2009 at 3:22 pm | Robotics and Electronics Ebook | No comment

 

This ebook describes a wireless application that allows remote control of a robot. The application adopts an object-oriented philosophy in which every robot is a device represented by an object. The application runs in a PC with a web server. The interface is done using common Java GUI’s.

The interaction with the robot control system is done through specific hardware and PDA standard interface such as the serial port and by the LAN.

This ebook demonstrated the success of wireless control of a robot with the help of a PDA interface. Direct interface of the wireless control with the robot would be another interesting topic for future work.

Very good project. So, do you have an PDA? Lets make a robot.

Electronics Assistant

June 22, 2009 at 3:29 am | Free Electronics Software | No comment

 

Electronics Assistant is a Windows program that performs electronics-related calculations. It includes a resistor colour code calculator, resistance, capacitance and power calculations and more. Details of calculations can be saved or printed. It provides all the functions found in the calculators section of this site and more in a stand-alone user friendly program.
Electronics Assistant is built on Microsoft’s .NET framework 2.0 and requires the framework to run. The installer will check if this is installed and download it automatically if required. Many programs now use the framework, so you may well already have it. Alternatively it can be installed via Windows Update.

DipTrace Free 1.30

June 20, 2009 at 2:43 am | Free Electronics Software | No comment

 

DipTrace is an advanced PCB design software application that consists of 4 modules: PCB Layout with efficient auto-router, Schematic Capture, Component and Pattern Editors that allow you to design your own component libraries. Besides being very simple to learn, which is quite an accomplishment for a PCB design software package, this solution has a very intuitive user interface and many innovative features. For instance, a schematic can be converted to a PCB with one mouse click. The board designer can instantly renew the PCB from an updated version of schematic and keep existing placement, routed traces, board outline, mounting holes and other work. PCB and Schematic can be compared at any design stage to ensure they are identical. DipTrace has a powerful automatic router, superior to many routers included in other PCB layout packages. It can route a single layer and multilayer circuit boards, and there is an option to autoroute a single layer board with jumper wires, if required. DipTrace also provides you with external autorouter support. Smart manual routing tools allow users to finalize the design and to get the results they want in a blink of an eye. Accurate shape-based copper pour system with different possible fill types and thermals can be used to make planes or to reduce manufacturing costs. Other important features are Electrical Rule Check (ERC), Design Rule Check (DRC) and Net Connectivity Check – the functions that check connections in Schematic by different rules (pin type, short circuit, etc.), the clearance between layout objects, which ensures board accuracy, and connectivity of all nets not depending on how they are connected (with traces, thermals or shapes). DipTrace modules allow you to exchange schematics, layouts and libraries with other EDA and CAD packages. DipTrace Schematic Capture and PCB Layout also support popular netlist formats. Output formats are DXF, Gerber, Drill and G-code. Standard libraries include 50.000+ components.

iCub: 3.5 year old child humanoid robot

June 16, 2009 at 4:17 pm | Robot Humanoid | No comment

 

iCub is a project from RobotCub and is a 5 years long project and funded by the European Commission through Unit E5 “Cognitive Systems, Interaction & Robotics”. The main goal is to study cognition through the implementation of a humanoid robot the size of a 3.5 year old child.
iCub has 53 DOF ( Degrees Of Freedom ), has fully articulated hands, head and eyes. This project uses an open systems platform that other researchers are encouraged to utilize, customize, and improve upon.

Hand Design
The Hand design is great. Look good and very compact. With 18 dof, the hand movement become more natural and closed to human hand movement.



Facial Expressions
If we look at the video, there the robot face can make various expressions with changing the mouth and eyebrow. It’s look like the mouth and eyebrow made from light,so they can change it with various form by changing the light. Clever way. Great.


Lower Body design
The design for lower body with more dof make the iCub can make more movement and more look natural if used for walking. See the Video below.

Overall, this is great project and produced great humanoid. With this humanoid, people can learn more about robotic design, robotic platform, robotic programming. robotic cognitive, robotic mimic and so on. So, who wanna and interest to this Humanoid? Of course i am lol.
