This project’s goal is to produce a robot that will follow a track at a maximum speed possible.An Atmel AT90S4433 serves as brain for this robot. It features a 10bit A/D converter that has a 6:1 demux allowing to sample up to six analog channels one at a time. Currently only two analog sources - both light sensors - are being read.The builtin PWM generator could not be utilitized in this case, because two PWMs are needed to control both engines. [more]

Then you would not need to be connected to the computer to tell distance…[more]

This is AVR-based Robot Hardware.The main processor board hosts the processor itself, a buffer stage for driving the infra-red emitters in the eyes, and a second stage amplifier which boosts the signals the eye receives with its photodiodes. Otherwise, the rest of the board is given over to connectors to which the other boards interface.[more]

The NICEBOTS project is a one-month long open studio exhibit, showcasing the construction and design of interactive robots. During the exhibition, the artists transform the gallery space into a working studio where the audience is able to observe and learn how the bots are built and interact with them in their space. The open studio format allows for dynamic changes throughout the exhibition. [more]
