Super Crawler Project came first to my mind during a robotic course I took at university of Oslo, back in spring 2009. The course contained theoretical aspects to design robot arms. It was hard and full of boring
Imaginary Robot Design
mathematical calculations, but interesting enough to make me read it during my philosophy classes. At the same place(the philosophy classes), I came up with the idea to make a mobile robot which has an arm, can stream video report of its environment back to the lab and does some image processing operations on the received report(There were also thoughts about having an Asus Eee motherboard inside the robto for image processing purposes). There was a plan even for a GPS to help the robot locate itself on the map and moving to the desired location. This is pretty much Super Crawler. It is still an on going project at robot building community at university of Oslo.
The project was continued with 3 other classmates from the same course and we have accomplished following goals up to now.
Already accomplished phases :
- Belts designed
- Video streaming done via Java, JFM technology(not stable)
- Designed using Solidworks 2009
- Micro-controller programing to control the DC motors
- Navigation system - Java
Remaining phases :
- Image Processing
- Assembling phase
- GPS locator with reporting system of current location on SC website
- Camera
