Controlling Bioloid Robot with a Television remote control

It seems simple but it is little complicated
First thing you got to do is to build the circuit you see in the video and connected to the bus of the Bioloid.
In order the Bioloid to see the circuit you must “speak the language” of the Bioloid’s bus and this is not so easy.
The circuit understands the RC5 IR protocol created by Phillips and returns the code of the button pressed to the Bioloid.

The address of the circuit, to the bus, is 50 (Bioloid has 18 servos, with the corresponding addresses and one AX-S1 module with the address 100).
You can see that when I am writing the command ping 50

The code is written with BascomAVR compiler and the processor of the circuit is ATtiny2313

For more information on this build check out our forum. http://www.lynxmotion.net/viewtopic.php?t=5224 The torso servo is a 475, were replacing it with a 645 to stop the oscillations. The BRAT as a base makes this almost too easy. Walking, torso, guns and laser pointer are all controlled from the Bot Board II / Basic Atom Pro and the wireless PS2 controller.

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.
This is part of a university cooperation project done by Marco Wickrath.

Michael tested the first prototype of the control interface for the RoboSapien back in 2006. This was the precursor of the OpenEADL system. The interface was implemented by hooking up an Atmel AVR microcontroller with Michael’s wheelchair and a GameBoy Advance for feedback. A wireless RF module is used to send the actual commands to RoboSapien. Michael uses his three available head switches (the same set he uses to drive his wheelchair) to control RoboSapien. This allows him to easily switch back and forth between the chair and the robot. You will notice that the GameBoy speaks the available commands as they are browsed. Michael actually suggested this feature so he didn’t have to look at the GameBoy’s screen.
