Two more infrared sensors were added on the front, this way he’s more sensitive to the environment. Video is on the go..
You can see more details about the construction process on this post.

Pretty cool!
Even if I don’t know how fast this thing moves, or how fast that servo moves, couldn’t you do almost the same using that servo mounted one?
Hi Pedro :)
do you mean I could use only the sensor that is on the servo? yes I could, the thing is if the bot is looking to one side and there’s an obstacle on the other side he will hit the obstacle, wait a bit until you see the video.
Damn that’s beautifull…
Just a question, all the ingredients for your “friend” have to be bought on-line, right? Here in Portugal (North) there are no “real store”. Or are there?
P.s. Love watching your robot move… you made him “to safe”. Don’t you think he could go a bit closer to the obstacle before moving (or I’m I talking sh*t and it’s a pain in the *ss to do that? ).
hey Diego! thanks for your comments :)
the ingredients are all bought online, there are cool PT stores growing up, check http://www.inmotion.pt (this one is based in Porto), and http://www.lusorobotica.com/loja wich is more robotics oriented.
I try to find a balance between and , this is all parametric and one can play with safe-distance values ;)
