It’s been a while since my last blog post. The past couple of months have been very busy, and there’s no improvement in sight. To ease the pain a bit: a movie of the result of our project work a the electrical engineering departement (ESAT, K.U.Leuven), made by group 1 in 2008-2009.
Our goal was to make a robot, ‘Dragon’, which balances on two wheels, drives and makes turns. Dragon also communicates wirelessly with a pc, detects obstacles and is outfitted with parking sensors and a display. To improve its coolness factor, it has been tuned with a couple LED-strips. I was in the Control team myself, our task was to get the robot to stand up and drive. We’re very happy with the result. The movie included was made by Bertrand Dujardin. It just needs a mini-flamethrower to make the thing perfect…
