CAD of my newest robot

Plus, I have a bunch of videos that I haven't uploaded yet with ERP doing more tricks . . .

i cannot wait to see them

For those who use WebbotLib and/or the Axon/Axon II, you'd be happy to know I've converted (entirely rewrote from scratch) ERP software to use WebbotLib:

http://www.societyofrobots.com/downloads/ERP_code_020110.zip (for WebbotLib v1.14)
(well commented for anyone to use)

The rewrite also allowed me to really clean the code up with my latest robot programming techniques.

Most of the code works, but I'm in Thailand and can't find a replacement HS-311 to test my latest 'play fetch' code . . . HS-311 for a wheel fried for no reason.

note: I haven't yet transferred the 3D mapping program, yet. I'm thinking of a new faster way to do it that no one has done before . . .

6 month vacations without paychecks, what do you think?


I have another update (backdate?), as I never published my videos I took back in April 2009. I just got around to it.

I included some videos I took of Thailand in the background just for fun.

Robot Chroma Key and Dance Demo

lol
weird but cool

I've been too occupied with traveling, making money, secret projects . . . and girls . . .

But I finally managed to pull myself together and add another ERP upgrade!

That weird look on my face is me trying to read the wireless data in hyperterminal to make sure I time my voice properly . . . it wasn't as reliable as I made it look, but it's getting there!

Hi Admin,

Is it possible to combine all of your erp programs into one? Lets say- Head track, manual, random dance and vr bot?

I have been trying but with limited success. in combining manual and random dance but fails when I add head track.

Is doing this asking too much from the Axon? I would like to know before i rush out and buy a vrbot.

Anyway, nice work- keep it up....

Yeap it's possible, although my code won't be able to do it as-is.

You'll need to add in a scheduler that swaps between the code groups using WebbotLib.

Wait, are you saying you have an ERP-like bot?!

lol, it was early morning and I wasn't awake enough to realize the ramifications of your question . . .

The VRbot is a bit limited, though. I'm still playing around with it to make it more reliable (the video was under perfect conditions in a quite room). Servo noise is loud and causes it to not work when your bot is moving. It limits you at 32 words, meaning 16 words if you want two languages. Later updates to my code will include some form of limited grammar, allowing word combinations for maybe ~50 different commanded actions.

Thats good news. I thought you was going to say- buy 4 axons

Hopefully there's a nice sample in the webbot manual.

I really like your ERP admin. I have one question though. When its doing the visual tracking is it sending data back to a computer?

[Admin]

When its doing the visual tracking is it sending data back to a computer?

The Axon tells the Blackfin to 'find the center location of the biggest color blob'. The Blackfin does all the vision processing on board, then says back to the Axon 'the center location of the biggest color blob is X, Y'. It can ask other questions, like the size or color of the blob, or track more than just one blob/color, etc.

So no, everything is being done on just the Blackfin and Axon.
