Humanoid Automonous Police Robot

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

The Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) plans to have fully humanoid robots that think, act, react, learn, make decisions all on their own, and live amongst us all, by the year 2025 or even sooner. We are talking only 16 years or less. Robotics is alot more important to the New World Order Agenda than a lot of people may think. The NWO knows that almost none of the police or military are actually going to turn on the citizens of their own country and enforce martial law and a police state. This is why (IMO) that robots are a crucial factor to the success of the NWO. intelligent humanoid robots are exactly what the NWO needs in order to police and enslave everyone.

Bioloid goes climbing – Part 2 – kinematics

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

Kinematic system that operates just by getting a new target position (inverse kinematics) everything else is done autonomously. This demonstration has 4 different target positions only and it shows the system’s accuracy even at a very high speed.
This is part of an autonomous system that first looks for possible ways up a climbing wall (according to the abilities of the robot and to physical constraints) and after placing the robot at the start position of the chosen path the robots climbs up just by knowing the x/y-positions of the grips.
The final scenario will be a bioloid looking at the wall using an onboard vision system, detecting marked grips, calculating the best way up, walking to the start position and climbing up the wall, totally autonomously.
My part so far was developing a motion planning system which is a simulation of the real wall that calculates possible paths and developing a motion control system based on inverse kinematics so that now you can send a command like “left hand position 250/175″ and the robot is hooking its new climbing hook-hand into a grip being at this position. (I made new hook-hands and climbing feet to make the robot able to climb, too)
See the other videos showing the climbing process and explaining more details.

Bioloid goes climbing – Part 1 – climbing process

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

The bioloid robot climbs a freely configurable wall, this is NOT a predefinded motion sequence. It is part of an autonomous system that first looks for possible ways up (according to the abilities of the robot and to physical constraints) and after placing the robot at the start position of the chosen path the robots climbs up just by knowing the x/y-positions of the grips.
The final scenario will be a bioloid looking at the wall using an onboard vision system, detecting marked grips, calculating the best way up, walking to the start position and climbing up the wall, totally autonomously.

Lynxmotion Rover Robot autonomous tracking RC car

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

This is another itereation of the Lynxmotion Rover robot using a CMUcam2+ and Basic Atom Pro microcontroller. You can see it has improved tracking abilities now however it still looses track of the object on occasion. Future improvments will be for Rover to scan for the object with both the pan/tilt head as well as spinning/driving looking for it’s target. Will also get improved speed when I upgrate to 12V battery.
