Robotics:
The area of AI concerned with the practical use of robots.
Control Processes,Automation,Robot vision,et al., gives rise to the evolution of a new species viz., Robo Sapiens.
I've recently begun to dable in Animatronics, as I've already created autonomous robots, and robotic arms (oh the joys of inverse kinematics!), so I thought I'd construct my own animatronic.
I'm using a PICAXE 16F84, on a development board, dozens of cheap DC motors, that are small, use low power and operate fairly well under low revs (this took some finding!). I chose DC servo's as Steppers are expensive in comparison. I'm also using alluminium for the core, fibre glass for the "bones"...Click Here | By eviljawdy
