Programmable Robots

Drone Build I got this drone built by my nephew.  we bought all the items and assembled it , now we are planning to do some programming using raspberry pi . The plan is to make a big drone which can carry heavy weights from location A to location B and control it programmatically with out a RC Controller .    

      After multiple iterations we have finalized this video for robotic open space litter cleaning . I believe this will be use full for countries that does not have good garbage littering enforcement.   We are in the process of creating a good simulation environment before going for the prototype stage.

During the Christmas holidays of 2012 i spent my time creating this simple PONG game . Its too simple a game but it tought me valuable managed gaming programming using XNA 4.0.   I love to do more 2D games. Adding a second 2D game using XNA . This is a Alian shooter game with sound and explosions

Phidget is connected to the PC and controlled through USB. I used a interface kit provided by Phidget to switch on and off a LED light . This is a simple hello world kind of exercise but it opens up lots of possiblitites in home automation  

I started building a RC Plane using the RCPowers.com design. Spent a lot of time and money and atlast the propeller started running smoothly . still i have tons of problems to be solved before my plane starts flying . Here are some sanps   Getting all the parts and making the entire piece work is quite a challenge . Any how now that the peopeller is working i can think of completing this project soon.  

The idea was to create a robot that can be used by a store manager in a store to talk to team members remotely. I have been thinking of creating a completely new environment other than the one provided by microsoft robotics. I tried my best to create this new simulated environment and simulated robot from scratch , i used google sketchup for 3d mesh.

I integrated MSRS with RoboRealm and used the Navigation(AVM) module of RoboRealm . This module uses Associative Video Memory logic to recognize a image . The steps for integration of RoboRealm with MSRS R3 is available in the RoboRealm site. The object recognition is perfect and it also provides object tracking so that i can make my robot follow the object . In this video i trained the Navigation module using a picture and the i made the robot follow the picture. All these days i have been trying to do a sample with image recognition but all my attends were not very fruitful, now i feel we can do lots of wonderful object recognition with AVM module . RoboRealm looks very promising for object recognition . I would like to recommend this module for any one who wants to do navigation using object recognition
