ZOE : A Machine That Resembles A Living Creature In Being Capable Of Moving Independently

Since my robot is running on a Raspberry Pi, which is now supported by ARC, I decided to evolve my current project K[8] into a new one called ZOE... First steps will creating a new servo setup which supports Dynamixel Servos,  and a new Conceptual design!!

Clean your roomba. And make sure the connector pads on the bottom are clean. And the connectors on the charger. I have 3 roombas that always docked when i get home. If they don't dock, i clean the pads and the roomba sensors and the charger sensors.

I had to glue the charging dock to a thin metal plate so my roomba could dock easier. It drives onto the plate and docks.

If you have an old 400 series Roomba they pretty much sucked at docking. Hit or miss as it were.... I have a few 400 series but I also have a couple of Roomba 650's and they pretty much have no issues finding and docking to their home base...

@nallycat Supercool that you are fan of my early head concept, its available at Thingiverse now... I put it separate, not to be confused with the updated head design! Let me know if you are running into any issues!

I am looking forward to see your remix!!!:D

@DJSures I am super stocked that you will print a ZOE, and I like the idea of having EZ-Robot HDD servos added. While you are at it you should also remodel the head frame to host the EZ-B IoTiny and the EZ - B Camera, I already checked and realized that there is enough space to do so!

Good thing about a powerful software like ARC is, that it supports all kinds of hardware...

Also I like the idea of the Latte Panda, the LattePanda Alpha has really good specs!!

It will be great to see your improved remix of ZOE!!:)

hey mickey

thank you for uploading the files.do you have a link from zoe's eyes?

Sure, I got them from Adafruit...

In addition you will need the AIY Vision Kit to build the head, but you can also just use a Raspberry Pi Zero and the Pi Camera... Let me know if you need more info on anything! I will update the assembly instructions soon!:)
