To Our Readers
We are glad to have had an opportunity to share our knowledge with interested robotics enthusiasts. In this book we have attempted to provide a brief compilation of our experiences in robotics (participating and winning in Technical Festivals all over the country), extending over last three years. The prospect of practically implementing engineering concepts is the hallmark of robotics. By reading the basics in this book you will gain a significant insight into various tools employed in shaping a robot. However to participate in technical festivals with ever changing problem statements you will be required to apply these basics concepts and come up with innovative algorithms and superior designs. Do not expect this book to be a panacea for all robotic problems, rather you will have to sit and work for hours to get a functioning robot. Transform each failure into a stepping stone instead of stumbling over it. We appreciate the beauty of diamond but little do we wonder how it became so bright? Its perseverance extending thousands of years transformed it into its present sparkling state. We encourage you to plunge further into the field of robotics with dedicated perseverance, make your own mistakes and gain valuable experience from them. ALL THE BEST

    I was a small fry, pushed and shoved around trying to figure out my way around this new large building. Despite being so lost, I found myself in a large auditorium one day, filled with other underclassmen who were just as passionate about technology as I was. I found solace in the robotics club where I met people who were much more educated about computers and technology than I was. How the robots were assembled combining individual parts, movements that were created with a peculiar language and program I couldn’t comprehend- it all fascinated me. My curiosity, which initially birthed my passion for technology, strongly urged me to join this club. I submitted to that urge and as a result, I learned the mechanics behind building a robot and tested the waters of…

    This history of robotics is intertwined with the histories of technology, science and the basic principle of progress. Technology used in computing, electricity, even pneumatics and hydraulics can all be considered a part of the history of robotics. The timeline presented is therefore far from complete. Robotics currently represents one of mankind’s greatest accomplishments and is the single greatest attempt of mankind to produce an artificial, sentient being. It is only in recent years that manufacturers are making robotics increasingly available and attainable to the general public. The focus of this timeline is to provide the reader with a general overview of robotics (with a focus more on mobile robots) and…

    This is a report of the project for the course 2D1426 Robotics and Autonomous Systems. It describes the ideas and the design of the Ad Hoc robot. It covers the main design goals, implementation and results. The goal of the robot was to play table hockey, and above all to be able to score a goal. This was actually accomplished during the qualification round for a table hockey tournament. However, the robot never managed to score during any of the actual games. It was built of Lego bricks, and controlled by a micro controller.…

    Beam Robotics

    Abstract - The field of Robotics has been a fascination since the advent of computational technologies. To induce life into the robos, complex and powerful electronic components are required. Hence advance knowledge and great funds are required to build even small robots. These create hurdles to the beginners in this field. These hurdles can be overcome by adopting a new philosophy called Beam Robotics formulated by Mark. W. Tilden. Here minimal electronics are used and using solar power, miniature creatures are created first from which new prototypes can be evolved. Unlike conventional robos, which use costly microprocessor controlled architecture, these have interconnection of elementary circuits called Nervous Networks. Here a reconfigurable central network oscillator is utilized for autonomous and independent operation of components. Further it favors development of legged robos. The nervous technology provides (1) pulse delay circuits (neurons), interconnected in closed loops, which generate square waves and (2) pulse neutralization circuits. The central sequencing network and limb circuits control the direction of the motor thereby the motion of their legs. The advantage is that the use of microprocessors and costly components is eliminated and the processes are localized and self-sustaining. Thus beginners and students can implement the innovative ideas without having high knowledge, skill and fund. We are very happy to place this paper before the academic fraternity. Now it will be our pleasure to receive the reader’s feedback. We feel such a feedback is vital to improving the knowledge of an efficient engineer, thereby achieving its purpose.…
