Basic Stamp to control an industrial application

jav2cube

Unfortunately, the university rejected my proposal abut an educational robotics project... They want me to use the basic stamp in an application in my country.

For example... robot designed to carry dangerous or heavy thing (not so heavy). This thing involves big servos now...

First of all, i dont know the real name of this servos.
Second, there is a driver to control the movement of those servos??

I'll appreciate any help

You will need to supply more information for use to answer your questions. Yes there is a driver to control the servos, they would not work otherwise.

One tip I learned investigating electric robots is you do not need servos and their complicated timing controls, you can use ordinary DC motors instead. I think you may find more information at www.robotbooks.com

Once you are able to apply position control to motors you can use it to make robots or industrial machines like CNC's or industrial process controllers. The Stamp should be better than some existing off-shelf industrial controllers because you can link them to control more than 16 or 32 motors from a PC. Older technology control is less expandable.

My project is an industrial hydraulic robot. Maybe after it is working I'll apply the knowledge to an electric robot. The problem you might see in the current Popular Science is the Azimo robot only runs a couple of hours on a battery so it needs a better power source. It is hard to find one that is better with no toxic exhaust for indoor use. Maybe hydrogen could be used.
