Fred Bot
BackThis is our degree project from Lakehead University. The purpose of this was to explore the possibility of 4 legged locomotion using 2 motors. This has been shown to be possible by other similar robots (Beambots for example). However very few exist that possess the ability to turn, and more importantly the ability to turn on the spot. Another feature designed into this project was obstacle avoidance. This was accomplished with a Sharp GP2Y0A02YK Analog distance measuring sensor. It has the capabilities of distance measurement between 20 and 150cm. Any questions regarding solutions to problems encountered, or tips for building your own robot.
