The preliminary picture below shows the current state of the robot:<br /> <br /> [[Fil:20141115_alubot1.jpg|500px]]<br /> <br /> === Milestones ===<br /> As of now the robot is a constant work in progress. In order to have some goals to work towards, I defined some milestones for the development:<br /> # Build an aluminium frame with enough space for a strong battery pack, one or two carrier PCBs, two or three embedded systems and several sensors. Also two strong motors with wheels and one pivoted support wheel should be included<br /> # Next step is to choose and install a battery with a fuse and a main switch as well as a mini Linux computer which will bring a lot of computing power to play with.<br /> # In order to bring things to life, a motor driver board that can communicate with the Linux system is needed. Ideally, this board is programmable with an open source tool chain which make things easy to develop on a Kubuntu desktop PC. To control the motors through the embedded Linux system, basic communication and control routines are needed.<br /> # Next step is to install wheel encoders and get them to work with the motor driver. This can be used for looped feedback control of the motor´s speed which will allow accurate control of speed and direction of the robot.<br /> # Another plan is to use a common TV remote control to directly control the robot in the field and e.g. override driving controls or choose between different behaviours.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Work In Progress&#039;&#039;&#039;</div>
