Progress: In Progress
Time to Build: 10 months
Started this project... can't remember when exactly, it's been so long. Controll software is still almost complete (just a few more functions added & compiled really). The robot itself... the pics show the smaller of the two bots I've been working on. This one's based off the Robonova-1 platform.
Components:
- batteries - Li-Po
- microcontroller- MRC-3024
- actuators - Hitec HSR series servos.
- sensors - IR, accelerometer, gyro-sensor,
- communication - RS-232>TTL, Bluetooth 2.4GHz Wireless.
This robot inspired:

How do you program your robot
How do you program your robot with it? Can you, for example, create high-level processes comprised of multiple control actions?
Matt, what did you write that
Matt, what did you write that fancy control panel in? Does the platform do dynamic balancing? Cool stuff. Which I had the time/money to get into humanoids.
Believe it or not, the app
Believe it or not, the app was written in VB6... old school.
Self-adjusting balance is achieved with a solid-state gyrosensor loop. There's also an accellerometer under hood to indicate when and at which direction he's fallen.
Money is half of it, true. I had to sell off a lot of my crap to get my first humanoid. Having/making time... there's the catch. :-D
