Kimono
Kimono :- Second of a desktop Swarm
Purpose:- Tabletop autonomous robot to negotiate saki glasses.
[video=youtube_share;Xf9_hCR_SLs]
I made a copper ring and attached IR Leds and IR detectors to its periphery.
Basic GM mini motors and a now modified Glowstick debug handle.
I am using one of MBA consultings propeller M44D40+ boards , which fits perfectly.
Here is one of the IR clusters
The Right hand clear LED fires Infrared light directly to the floor.
The dark Led is the IR detector and this picks up the reflected light.
So normally it is always fired......until it tries to go over a cliff ,whereby the detector detects
and lights up the white LED about the detector (for debug and Arty look)
, of course the relative avoid falling of the cliff routine kick in to save the day .....YAY
As well as "Cliff Detect" it also has two forward corner pointing sensors to avoid the "Chink" with the Sake Glasses.
Problem is i need someone to donate some Sake glasses and/or Sake for further experimentation.....

No glasses, but I have an unopened bottle of fine sake here for you, next time you're in LA.
It's good that you start with a clear purpose and something that is truly needed. I hate when saki glasses sit on the table without being challenged!!
I love the edge detection - there were a couple times when I thought we were going to be seeing some accidents at the edge of the table.
Once again, very inspiring work!
.... i will bring some schnaps then......
...... biggest challenge for me was to let her free roam and trust her routines,..... you might have noticed the safety handle .... a necessity during early stages of programming...
+1... The ONLY way I can get anything done anymore is in the wee hours of the morning while everyone's asleep. I'm whispering in most of my Youtube videos for fear of waking anyone up!
