Dan from @DanMakesThings is a complete beginner when it comes to #robotics, but he managed to build this super smart bipedal friend, which includes custom PCBs.

Motion sensors let the robot detect someone’s presence and spring into action. This feature also saves energy, as the #robot goes into power-saving mode when nobody is around. It possesses face detection and speech recognition skills too, allowing for smarter interactions with humans.

Vernon Update: We designed/made a shim for the Ozito batteries in the vacuum cleaner... this lets us borrow some of the 18V power and use it to drive our motors and #ESP32 or @Raspberry_Pi Pico (we're planning to try both).

We've also finished designing/printing all the main hardware parts to get it rolling, such as the drive gears, hose adapters clean up the front end, and an integrated adapter inside the hose part that connects it all to the chassis.

Our resident electronics guru also got the motors hooked up and wheels turning, so now it's just a matter of getting the code done (doesn't he just ask AI to do that these days? easy peasy) and Vernon will be cruising around the space sucking up everyones belongings.

If you want to compete in next year's Pi Wars, it's time to start thinking about the kind of #robot you're going to build!

The event is open to anyone on planet Earth and will take place across the weekend of 20-21 April 2024 in Cambridge, UK.

@kevsmac is a great example of someone who wanted to do something, and so he went ahead and did it. His secret? Start small, fix your mistakes, and do it again.

Starting with an obsession with modular printed robots, then MicroPython, then livestreaming, he has built up kevsrobots.com into a great resource for anyone who wants to get started with #robotics, the intersection of mechanical #engineering, electronic engineering, and #programming

#introduction content continued! as a follow on to nematoduino, I made nematode.farm, which is a (very) simple browser based game where the “opponent” is many instances of the emulated C. elegans nematode. I think this may be the first game ever where enemy AI is based on an emulated organism.
written in C, SDL2, and compiled in webassembly 
can play here (need arrow keys)

More #introduction content!
I’m also somewhat known porting a C. elegans nervous system model (connectome) to the Arduino Uno, so it could be used in very low cost or resource constrained platforms.
Yes, this is a robot that thinks it’s a worm, lol
