Love it! That's just excellent, love the way it moves!
Could you give a bit of a description on how it works? e.g. what sensors do you use? How mucah of it's motion is autonomous?
Thanks richiereynolds...
It is fully autonomous !... it makes use of Infrared sensor to sense any blockage ahead (25 cm), if it does, it stops and identifies if the obstruction:
1) has a gap underneath (Task 1)
2) is a slope (Task 2)
3) is a sudden height (Task 3)
it does that using IR sensor which can orientate up and down, it measures distances to identify if it is Task 1, 2 or 3.
And, the whole time it is walking, not only it checks for blockage ahead, but it keeps on checking if the light-sensors (that are located on its feet) senses a 'larger' distance (black + light-ON) when the foot is down ! [it checks for light-sensor value
only when each time the foot is down] - if it senses larger distance, that means the surface is Irregular ! (Task 4) - it steps backwards in order to Transform.
Thanks
