Summer Project “OpenIntelligentRobot” and Help Needed!

John Roach — Tue, 25 May 2010 14:33:19 +0000

I’ve been mulling over an idea all winter. Trying to come up with different projects that could be done using Beagle-board and Arduino. The project is (you hear drum-roll here) “Building An Intelligent Robot”. I know it’s already been done however I have some additional ideas to put in project. All code will be open source. So if you want to build your own you could read up in this site.Oh and I really do need help. Especially financially. So if you are interested please drop me a line. My doodling is as below to give you an idea.

Giving Small Robots New Ways to Move (IEEE)

I always thought that there should be smaller robots. We do have the technology. Look at your PDAs,IPhones and HTC model telephones. All are actually sophisticated computers. Why not use this technology to make smaller bots? And while making them smaller why not make the so they can move easily through. After all a cockroach can go to places where you would usually say “How in the hell did it get up there?”.

These 10 years are about bio-robots. By tagging the name of bio-robots I mean robots that act and move like insects and other simple life forms. And if we can perfect our way in constructing and programming such robots we will find out how to make androids!! ( Probably going too far.) I hope to maybe get my hand on some part to make my own. But I just really don’t have the time .
