This blog's purpose is to document progress on my robot projects. I will include pictures, videos, code and descriptions. On occasion I will also write tutorials for parts and sensors that I have worked with to help those who are new to robotics.<br /><br />Background: I graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a degree in Electrical Engineering. I built my first robot 4 years ago but I haven't had a lot of time to program it. I am currently working on connecting a CMUcam to my carpet rover robot named "The Wanderer". Perhaps with the camera The Wanderer will have something to do other than wonder around a room.<br /><br />Here is a picture of The Wanderer:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ahykDcAqO4A/SwschYrHOYI/AAAAAAAAAAU/hCFjsAc0RJw/s1600/IMG_0716.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ahykDcAqO4A/SwschYrHOYI/AAAAAAAAAAU/hCFjsAc0RJw/s400/IMG_0716.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407447137472952706" border="0" /></a>The Wanderer used two continuous rotation servos to move and has a swivel wheel in the back. It has two ultrasonic rangefinders mounted on servos to detect objects in its path. It uses a Javelin microprocessor, programmed in Java, as a brain.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7671842313697824344-3190302094333333814?l=robot-place.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Waynenoreply@blogger.com0
