ATOM - The First Full-Sized Humanoid Robot in the United States The first self contained Humanoid robot made in the USA by Dan Mathias. The ATOM-7xp humanoid robot is an almost 8 year project powered by the VIA Nano, Intel ATOM 330 processors and Microsoft 7 - XP and C++ for AI. Check out this superbly built robot that was made without the resources of corporate budgets. It is a fantastic example of what inovation you can achieve in a small bussiness home based lab. Please consider donating to help this impressive project move along.

Bicycle Robot Autobalance and steering Bicycle Robot by STRI robot team. The bicycle was developed to compete in the Bicyrobo Thailand competition. The competition challenge was to build a bicycle robot that could balance and run by itself. The team made it to the quarter finals and also received the Excellent Technique Award.

Lynxbot Lynxbot was built to test software for a large 300 lb robot named Ethel. The Lynxbot was built using a Lynxmotion SSC-32 servo control board and a BoeBot Chassis. After that a usb hub to my laptop and a usb camera was added to the robot. Read more here.

BOL-BOT Waypoint Navigation with RoboRealm The Bluetooth Controlled BOL-BOT Kit will allow robotics enthusiasts to control their BOL-BOT via Bluetooth and use it with packages, such as the Machine Vision RoboRealm software package and the Microsoft Robotics Studio virtual robotics environment platform; all with application notes, etc.

Lego Head Tracking Uses a Lego NXT system to create a workable head tracking using RoboRealm.

Controlling a spykee via web cam using your fingers A project to control a Spykee robot using gestures. He filters out everything but green through his web cam, then wraps his fingers in green tape. He then runs a series of filters to clean it up a little bit. The resulting blobs are tracked and converted to motor commands.

Sriranjan's Blog - Object Following Robot The robot coommunicates wireless with the PC using Xbee modules. Wireless camera for live video feed and roborealm for image processing. Developed custom embedded hardware for the robot and the PC USB interface.

RoboRealm control of an I-Sobot ProfMason wrote a brief tutorial on how to use the USB-UIRT in roborealm to control an I-sobot, but the instructions generalize to just about any IR controlled robot.

Ben Hoad's Blog During a very boring week at college Ben acquired a novelty USB rocket launcher. The idea of being able to shoot people from the comfort of one's desk was appealing at first but became old fast, partially due to the sheer difficulty of aiming.

Micromagic Systems' Hexapod Colour BLOB tracking The tutorial shows the basics of using RoboRealm to control the HexEngine via a bluetooth link, along with the use of a wireless CMOS camera attached to the pan/tilt head to track colour BLOB's. The tutorial will also work with a pan only head, and a wired camera if a wireless type is not available.

Line Following Spykee Robot He's on a role! ProfMason shows how he got the Spykee to follow a line even with a 90 degree turn!

Color Tracking Spykee Robot ProfMason shows how he got the Spykee to patrol between two red WowWee cones!

iRobot Create Personal Home Robot - A personal home robot built around the iRobot Create platform and a mini-itx computer system. It has never been easier and more affordable to design and build robots by leveraging the economies of scale from the software, PC, toy and other high volume consumer industries. This robot was created to show people that with a bit of imagination and ingenuity, robots can be used for real useful work around the home to make our lives more convenient and entertaining.

The Vision Robot Design - The first version of the vision robot is using a VEX platform (parts, motor controller, and motors) The VEX kit is linked via serial to the HP mini 1000. Attached to the HP is a Microsoft LiveCam (shown in the pictures) this webcam is used with the software installed on the HP. There is no code on the VEX but rather takes commands from the HP.

Robot Arm: Phase 1 - The goal for the software is to guide the arm's end-point to a location we select arbitrarily. The main idea is for the robot to continually look at his own arm, and make decisions on how to move it to closer to its goal, until it ultimately achieves it. This allows for greater flexibility because you don't need the software to contain a precise mathematical model of your robot's structure prior to running it. Instead it can learn about itself, and infer this structure on the fly.

Owen Sound Real-time Weather Conditions - This is, perhaps, the only autonomous real-time snow gauge currently operating on the internet. It employs a Linksys WVC200 network camera pointed at a length of 2½-inch PVC pipe painted fluorescent orange.
