UniRoP, M16C-based Robot System

admin — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 01:23:04 +0000

The UniRoP is a small sized robot system which combines classical robot sensors, like infrared distance sensor, accelerometers with a CMOS camera. It is also possible to control the robot by radio. To illustrate the possibilities of the designed system a sample task uses the CMOS picture sensor as an object detector. Simple picture [...]

The AeroQuad project is an open-source hardware and software project to build a quadcopters or quadrocopters, remote controlled four-rotor helicopters. The hardware consists of an Arduino microcontroller (Mega-2560 or Uno) as the flight controller board and an AeroQuad shield with various sensors like accelerometer and gyroscope.The project software is written in C and uploaded to [...]

ArduRoller Balance Bot

admin — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 01:29:41 +0000

This project shows you how to build a balance robot based on Arduino named as ArduRoller. It has nice chassis design and balances quite well on the spot. The robot also responds to knocks pretty quickly but sometimes giving it a more gentle push sends it gliding across the room at a constant speed. Shaun [...]

Wireless Pool Alarm, WatchDuck

admin — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 00:08:18 +0000

The WatchDuck is an accelerometer-based low cost wireless pool alarm. It will give an alert when a child or an object fell into water. All operation in this project is controlled by PIC 18F23K20 microcontroller. The alarm is composed of two parts: the detector and the base station. The detector is using an accelerometer module [...]

Arduino Hand Controller, Keyglove

admin — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 20:25:51 +0000

The Keyglove is arduino-based portable glove controller that uses touch combinations (for keys) and an accelerometer (for the mouse) to generate keyboard and mouse control codes using only one hand. Once learned, the glove can easily be used without looking, making it perfect for embedded/wearable environments. The glove is thin and light, built to allow [...]
