Omnibot Project:

I put the letter H in hack!

Here is the Omnibot I've been working on for the past couple of months.

Both arms, the left wrist, and the left hand have servos in them.

The battery tray in the front has a servo so it will open automatically.

Obviously the head has a servo for the camera to follow objects. If you see the picture of the head, you'll notice I put a bearing in the back so the head can move better with less wobble.

I mounted the EZ electronic board on the door. The door has hinges on it so it can open, and close.

I have a ping sensor in the middle of the front chest area Ill say, and one on the bottom right side. The robot still gets hooked on things with the working hand, and I'm wondering if I need another ping sensor on the bottom left side.

An IR sensor is on the way.

I intend to get a MP3 Trigger, and a sound card for it.

I haven't tried to write script for it. I never do it, and a friend is going to help me.

The motors work of an H bridge.

I'm going to try to post pictures of it. Anyone who wants to give me some input-feel free.

Some other ideas on sensors ,since i am one of the best experts on it and have all types might have it too low,onther item if and material like foam or sofa or cloth it wont pick up

so be good to add IR sensor,i made a test bench to tester sensors and put the data up soon

second you need a left and right sensor on the front too,best is to have 4 to forward and 2 at a angle fot detecting and measure room distance for navigation mapping

I have an IR sensor on the way along with other ping sensors. Im new at this. Isn't the IR sensor just for picking up movement in front of it?

Your Omnibot is nice, but the other stuff you spoke about is over my head! I'll be giving that post you sent me a closer look.

Thanks for the advice on the sensors!

Thanks, Den

YES but setting up the right way can be great navigation and more

ON sensors one type is good for certain materials and another type is good for certain materials and since there are different types of materials you need both,good place is on top of the sonar

ON IR sensors is also good for carpet and cliff detection,like stairs in a house.

For a beginner you seem good so far.

besides beening the best on all types of sensors ,i am electronic engineer SO my info is always free to anyone
