1. Driving Robots
2. Flying Robots
3. Balancing Robots
4. Walking Robots
Manipulators
Service Robots
Mobile Robot Design
• Mobile robots can be:
• Driving
• Walking
• Swimming
• Diving
• Flying
Mobile Robot Mechanical Design
Controllers
Our past projects control.
Examples
• Controller on a robot – autonomous.
Lynxmotion hexapod. Hexor
• PC connected to controller by wire.
Controller on a robot. Humanoid scientific
robot theatre (current project 2007)
• PC connected to controller by wireless.
Controller on robot. (Robot soccer 2002)
• Multi-processor architecture for many
robots – Hahoe robot theatre.

Multi-Purpose Humanoid
Robots
This is our long-term goal.
First goals:
- Walking man (small)
- Walking horse (big)
- Torso (MuVal)

Fiction to reality
Now we can
compare
Fiction to
Reality:
RUR
• "Gort" from
the movie
"The Day
The Earth
Stood Still."
Fiction to Reality:
• "Commander
Data" from
Star Trek, an
android robot
with a
"positronic
brain."
Intelligent Robot
Definition
• Knowledge Acquisition Capabilities
 Sensors
 Cameras
 Radar
 Tactile Sensors
 Infrared etc.
• Decision Making System
 Artificial Intelligence

If you cannot afford to build a
human…..
….and this
brings us
back to…..
ENTERTAINMENT
• Robots are seen on T.V. (Star Trek - The Next
Generation) and in the movies (The Day the
Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet, Lost in
Space, Blade Runner, Star Wars).
• These imaginary robots do a lot of things that
the real ones can not do.
• Some robots in movies, video and computer
games are made to attack people.
From a puppet theatre: Turtle
• Head of
Japanese
Robot
•And
What
About
these?
• Marylin
Monroe
without
cloths ...and
skin, with
her creator
• There exist
several
companies that
build
entertainment
robots
A leg
A Head
TOYS
• The new
robot
technology is
making
interesting
types of toys
that children
will like to
play with:
• "FURBY",
which
became
available in
stores for
Christmas
1998 - and
continues to
be very
TOYS
• "LEGO
MINDSTORMS"
robot
construction kit.
These kits,
which were
developed by
the LEGO
company with
M.I.T. scientists,
let kids create
and program
The $1 million-dollar Mitsubishi
robot fish.
Spiritual
Robots?
What did we learn?
• Many types of robots exist.
• Progress of technology allows now to build an
Intelligent Robot with Perception and Manipulation
under $1000.
• There are several kits for high school robotics.
• Robotics allows to explain ideas of control, software,
sensors, motors and other effectors, image
processing, pattern recognition, machine learning and
Artificial Intelligence
• Small robot that you can build in a classroom can
explain all important principles at a fraction of cost
• You are no longer restricted to robotic arms, kits allow
Possible Programming
Projects
• Select your favourite robot: Space, military, medical, etc
• Create a model of your robot: use your knowledge of
trigonometry to describe kinematics of your robot
• Find on WWW a graphics package, you can use AUTO-CAD
with Lisp
• Visualize the movements of your robot using the graphic
package
• Do the tele-remote interface to your robot. When you use the
mouse or joystick or keyboard, the robot executes respective
commands
