ICU is a sub-project of the SWARS (see what a robot sees) project.
This time I not just wanted to see what a robot sees, but I also wanted to give the robot the ability to understand that there is a person in the room, and stare at the person.
To detect faces I used the OPENCV [...]
This project is a collection of experiences related to seeing and percieving the world from the point of view of robotic creatures. Robots will send sensor data to the computer and will generate visual and audio landscapes in real time.
The development started during the Audiencia Zero residency in O Espaço do Tempo in Montemor-o-Novo, and [...]
The motoruino is so easy to setup, just plug the motors, sensors, upload code and your bot is ready to go.
I added a big capacitor (4700uF) on the PCB power connections as I had the Motoruino resetting randomly when a motor started (OddBot explains everything here)
This is a quick test drive with the demannu (unnamed [...]

They both have two different gear mode (hi and low speed), I am wishing to try it out.
This is the dead motor..

It’s been quite a while without building robots… errr.. creatures..
anyhow I’m releasing this new creature, wich is still a work in progress.. and since I can’t think on a name for it, I will call it demannU, witch is “unnamed” backwards… sounds like ‘demon’, and for the sake of insanity, it looks like a little [...]
May I introduce you to the new family members: Farrusco v2.5, and Farrusco Junior.
Farrusco v2 is the new generation of my first robot Farrusco.
The F2 was created with Filipe Valpereiro from InMotion.pt, and this was the robot used for the last robotics workshops season.
The F2.5 version has a cleaner design, we are using two modified [...]

SSS (servo suspension system) is designed to support standard servo motors and act as a basic suspension. It is still a work in progress and has not been tested yet.
Will update results as soon as possible (still waiting [...]
This is the final result of the first stage of this project. An installation where zezinho calls for visitors and when a visitor reachs the mixing controllers he waits for new poses.
If you are nearby Lisbon, you can visit zezinho until 9 of July at:
