ICU2 is going to Pavilhão do Conhecimento in February and we are finishing the hardware and software. Some servos needed to be swapped and I needed to print a suport for a standard servo, this video shows a bit of the printing process and the printed thing assembled. There will me more updates very soon.
Magabot is an open hardware and software robotics platform designed to stimulate creative minds. Any robot with a computer is a very powerfull robot, and because all laptops have a camera, a screen, speakers, microphone, batteries and usb interfaces, your robotics experience will be empowered with Magabot. This project is being developed in a partnership [...]
During the development of Farrusco, we tried a lot of different ways to attach components to PVC supports, from hot-glue, to screws and double side-tape. Because this is intended to be sold as a kit the main keywords were: easy, cheap, last long as possible, and as a final thought “less is more”, what you [...]
Inner’s Lair started with a crazy idea of having an immersive interactive installation that could gather many artistic and computational topics that we at Artica have been disccussing in the last months. So, mostly we wanted to tryout our new conceptual implementation of cool topics as immersive sound, computer vision, interactive robotics, and organic behaviors. [...]
Artica is a startup company created by me and my friend André Almeida, we decided to merge our skills and knowledge in many fields, from artificial intelligence, augmented reality, interactive media, visual contents, immersive installations, creative robotics, project management, set and light design, and many other cool stuff we have done in the past years. [...]
This creature roams through the surrounding environment and seeks for light sources. When an object is too close it reverses motion and turns around, and then goes on seeking light. I used an old toy motor and platform, then added two LDR light sensors, a SHARP infrared sensor on the front and Arduino Diecimila for [...]
With a better understanding of robot building and navigation programming I came up with this robot! I think that the great improvement here was that I’ve made a plan of what I wanted to build and looked after solutions before the assemble process. So, this one came out a more successful robot!! This is my [...]
Here goes my second robot. This turns out to be the 4th robot actually :) I found this offroad car in an old junk and it was love at first sight! Now I want to add some brains and sensors and give him a new life :] The steering DCmotor burned out and I’ve removed [...]
