機械人大集合

     

 

   

       

製作與時代的轉變

由學習製作機器人到現在很多年時間了，回想起最初時常也認為要用鋁板做機器人，直致 TK02 有 PP 料，TK04 有亞加力，Tri Robot 用紙膠板，到現在再改用 Print ABS 零件，也反映了自己在設計想法上有很多不同的地方。由最初時常要界要鋸要鑽，到現在按掣列印加小許修正，也反映了時代不停轉變。

連續的 Event

一連兩星期參加了兩個香港的機械人 Event，這兩次的 Event 皆是以 Hong Kong Maker Club 的身份參加的，首先是參加了由 “CTEA 創意科技教育協會” 主辦的 “創意科技機械人大賽”，這項活動最主要是機械車足球比賽，而我負責的是在台上和其他的二足機械人表演一下。

 

另外一個是由民政署主辦的 “2012 / 13年秋冬上環假日行人坊”，這項活動是每星期也有不同主題的，而其中 Hong Kong Maker Club 參加的是名為 I.T. Fun Day 的活動，我們 Hong Kong Maker Club 申請了四個攤位，其中一個攤位交給了 DimSum Lab 及 MakiBox。

TK05 ProGear vs TK05 DMP

TK05 Gemini – Finish all electronics & brush parts

TK05 ProGear – project status.

• finish all brush parts
• finish all electronics connections
• have been test PS2 controller
• have been program some of the action. example : walk front , walk left , walk right.

Future update with program :

example : walk back , fight , shoot ball ,

TK05 DMP – project status.

• finish all brush parts
• finish all electronics connections
• have been test PS2 controller

will start programming :

example : walk front , walk left , walk right , fight , shoot ball , ( jump ?)

Continue Programming – TK05 ProGear

I have dismatle all the parts of TK05 DMP, it will be going to brush the color next week.

TK05 ProGear still continue programming the action, The New MT-SC31SQ is easy to use, I will be draw a schematic later.

The Program of TK05, Now can walk front, walk left, walk right,

& I have test a special program today , fast start action , slow end the action, it is no really soft start soft end.

Finish the TK05 Gemini ( ProGear )

Yesterday just finish brush all the parts & finish the electronics part for the TK05 ProGear.

	inside the body

about electronics part, TK05 is different then TK03 or TK04.

TK05 didn’t have ArmBoard inside, TK05 just have a MT-SC31SQ ( pdf file ), The MT-SC31SQ direct support the PS2 Adapter ( pdf file ), So I can direct control all the action with the wireless PS2 joystick. Also the programming is easy then before, No C programming. You just need you mouse click the servo angle, servo speed & save it at any location.

below have a walk video, I just program it in 5 mins.

Today , a new parts make in the factory have been received.

The PC-02 Carbon Plate, it is make with 1mm thick Carbon sheet. Also the PC-02 is support with ProGear BL806 Robot Servo & RoBoard RS-1270 Robot Servo. Below have some sample.

install it at TK05 ProGear	install it with the RoBoard RS-1270

Finish all the parts of TK05 Gemini

Finish all the parts of TK05 Gemini.
