autograbbingrobot

Autonomous Grabbing RobotThis project is to create a robot with articulated arms (3~6 joints), placed on a wheel or legged motion platform, that can automatically searches color- and shape-featured objects and put them into also color- and shape-featured brackets. The vision system would be to use a ... [More] webcam, with 30 f/s, 640*320 or higher. This project may contain several phases: 1. Using Lego MindStorm to build wheel platform, arm. The webcam is statically installed above the playground where objects, brackets and the robot are located, i.e. a global vision system. The objects and brackets are also statically put. 2. Objects and brackets may slowly in motion. The speed of motion will be slow enough for the global webcam to do the dection algorithm. 3. ... For details, see the project document. [Less]

leJOS RCX

leJOS is a Java-based replacement firmware (OS) for the Lego Mindstorms RCX, a programmable brick with 32 Kb of RAM, which is included in Lego's Robotics Invention System. leJOS supports threads, exceptions, synchronization, floating point arithmetic, strings, and so on, but there is no garbage ... [More] collection yet. leJOS is also designed to be portable to other small devices. [Less]

CS467 - Team 1 : Capstone Project A robot that is autonomous as it moves through a maze

three-laws

This project aim to create a simple domain specific language to control your Lego Mindstorm (and potentially other kind) robots from a PC. This project uses the Fantom API from Java (using JNA) to communicate with the robot. The DSL will be written using JRuby.

legonxtremote

LegoNXTRemoteThis is a library for manipulating LEGO Mindstorms NXT bricks. It includes a standalone Cocoa Framework and a sample Cocoa Remote application written in Objective-C. It is multi-platform and is not dependent on LEGO libraries. There are two products distributed in this project: ... [More] LegoNXT.frameworkThis is a framework providing the ability to manipulate a LEGO Mindstorms NXT brick over Bluetooth. This framework exposes both low-level manipulations as well as a high-level interface for sensor polling. This framework does not rely on the the LEGO fantomSDK or any other external libraries, making it easy to build and modify. LegoNXTRemoteThis is a sample application which makes use of the above framework to manipulate most functions of the LEGO Mindstorms NXT brick over Bluetooth. It makes use of the native Bluetooth libraries for simple device discovery. [Less]

robot-at-home

This project is about building a robot out of simple and cheap parts. It's about giving your netbook wheels, about creating a versatile real world platform to play with computervision and ai. It aims to be a great project you can do together with kids to teach them programming basics on a real ... [More] thing instead of a lame simulated turtle, or with fellow hackers while enjoying a beer and just having fun together. It will give you the power to enable your friends to log into your living room. They can drive around, see through the cam of the robot, talk and listen using the soundsystem, while sitting hundred of miles away on their couch.

hivemind-nxt

Hivemind-NXTA python control framework for Lego Mindstorm NXT Robots. NoteThis project requires that the NXT_python library be installed properly on your machine. NXT_python is available here: http://home.comcast.net/~dplau/nxt_python/. Development is on OS X 10.5.6 using python2.5.1

nxtjohnny5

A self-balancing, ball tracking robot built using: The Lego NXT robotics kit The nxtOSEK development platform. The NXTway-GS API. The GyroSensor module for the NXT. The NxtCam Camera module for the NXT. Eclipse Platform CDT (Version: 3.4.1 Build id: M20080911-1700) more videos available here ... [More] All source code is available in the svn repository, follow instructions here. Or browse here. Feel free to contact me at NxtJohnny5@removethis.gmail.com if you have questions, want to report bugs/improvements or want to help with this project! Roadmap: Improve stability by tweaking the four magical parameters of the balancer. Faster tracking using a simple model of ball displacement. Code a kick-and-follow-ball behaviour. cheers :-) Loic Royer [Less]

legonxtrescue

Welkom op de Lego NXT project website Hier vind u al de nodige informatie hoe je een Lego NXT rescue robot bouw en programmeert. Op deze site staat alles wat je nodig heeft, zoals: Rescue parcour, programma's, cursus,... . Doelstelling Cursus Met behulp van deze bundel bereiden we je voor ... [More] op de Robocup Junior wedstrijd. Eerst geven we een algemene informatie over de webstrijd, wat robots zijn en de ontwikkeling ervan in de toekomst. We zullen met behulp van het LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT pakket een rescue robot maken. Hierbij moet hij een uitgewerkt parcours doorlopen. We gaan de robot ontwerpen, de technische mogelijkheid bekijken, de robot effectief maken en uiteraard deze uitgebreid testen. Tevens zal er in deze bundel een hoofdstuk zijn toegewijd aan het stap voor stap uitleggen hoe je een robot programmeert via het lego software pakket. Ook gaan we bekijken of de robot geen fouten maakt door verkeerden instellingen van de sensoren of dergelijke. Dit samen wordt gebundeld en bevat een stapsgewijze instructie gemaakt om leerlingen van de secundaire school wegwijs te maken met de LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT. Dit was een projectwerk van de Artesis Hogeschool Antwerpen. Meer informatie op http://www.stefanvd.net/project/nxt.htm [Less]
