VNC Controlled Robot (16th Jan 10 at 1:07am UTC)
So, as many of you probably know, I'm very much into electronics and such. I'm currently taking a Computer Engineering class at school, and this semester we've been working on a VNC controlled robot. Those are some videos of it. It's still in a very primitive form, and we're currently working on a metal chassis for it, along with a better looking design & such. We're also working on getting a better drive system in; possibly belt drive or chain drive. Following that, we'll be putting an arm on it that can move, so that it can use the school elevator on its own. So yeah, erm...comment & such. Oh, and these are the specs for the robot: - IBM ThinkCenter P4 running Windows XP Professional - MOSFET controller interfaced to parallel port - Logitech pan-n-tilt webcam - Powered of off a 13.2V car battery - 1000W power inverter - Cisco Wireless-N router - Mercedes-Benz windshield wiper motors The robot's name is ROGER, which stands for Remotely Operated Group Engineered Robot.
