Robot-TIM-01



This is about the progress of my robot project.




Like most of my projects, I have an idea and go from there.
Some times my ideas work.
Some times they don't.
I am going to make it out of plastic (PLA) on my 3D printer.
When I make mechanical projects on my printer, I like to design them as a frame structure (skeletal), I like to see the workings.

This currently is working as I imagined. (well sort of any ways)
I want to make a robot, but in it's current state I would say it's an R.O.V. (Remotely Controlled Vehicle)
I have written an application for my phone (or other android device) to control it via Bluetooth.

For me to call it a robot I need to add sensors and make it do things on is own.
I plan to do this.

I have tried to separate my progress into posts in the right order.

Well I now call it my robot, it can now do things on it's own.
It can follow lines, it can draw, can display messages, knows the time of day, I can give it voice commands.

The application for my phone has more functions:





I will continue when I feel like writing again.


All the videos I have made on this project.



Here's some pictures I have take during it's construction and not used in the posts.











If you like what I have done, or want to know more.

    1. I could.
      If you want me to upload the STL files I will.
      But at the moment this is a make it as I go project.
      Things get changed as I find things I could do better, or if something didn't work right.
      I still have a lot of work to do on it.
      It could take sometime before I finish.

    1. This is some of my early work, I find it much easier to use a web page based control.
      I have done some Instructables on how to control things through an IP Server using a camera and servo.

      There are some more Instructables on how to make your server and web page to control things.

      Hope this helps.
