Build a Robotic Webcam - Describes how to build a robotic pan and tilt webcam using two servos and a PIC controller. The finished device can be controlled from a PCs serial port.
An assortment of microcontroller projects for robotics and other embedded applications. Projects include a software component, a hardware component, or both. The information and source code is proprietary. The license allows free (gratis) download and use for non-commercial purposes only.
Offers an affordable, nearly plug and play and fairly well documented microcontroller board supporting several digital and analogue ports, the ability to control four motors, and an LCD.
Robot projects information resource site with tutorials, video clips, articles and a forum covering core robotics topics such as navigation, micro-controllers, motor control, sensors and more.
An open PC-based mobile robot reference design, for navigating autonomously in home or office environments. The project goal is provide a standard implementation based on the best available standards for mobile robot design. The source code, circuit schematics and documentation may be freely downloaded.
Tutorials on the use of computers in automation, control and robotics. Includes simplified descriptions of feedback, proportional control, derivative control, and integral control.
Electronics Projects using PIC microcontrollers including EEPROMs, USB, LCD, wireless modules, i2c, compass, and tilt sensor. Projects may be used for educational purposes but not commercially.
UK based site for robot builders of all levels; tutorials, resources, competitions and forums for electronics, programming, mechanics, B.E.A.M. and fighting robots.
Detailed construction notes for creating robots based on direct-drive stepper motors salvaged from disk drives. A PIC 16F84 is used for control. Diagrams and schematics.
Lots of detailed information about designing and building fighting robots, including the physics behind different weapons, speed controllers, motors and batteries.
