THE RAW BRAIN
The Raw Brain is a simple mechanism of the eye
experiment. The purpose of the project was to build a classic robot
head.
 |
The Raw Brain can be set
on the table. The robot speaks and looks around. Detects motion and
distances. Does not like bright light and talking a little funny. The
robot is an entertaining experiment.
The Raw Brain can also understand simple words. Currently it does not
have relay outputs. So it can not turn on the lights and the equipment.
However, it is possible to implement this functionality the robot.
The robot mechanism of the eye is made of simple wires and small servos.
It is not the best way to make eye mechanism. Cogwheel mechanism is a
better solution.
Inside the head is a LED matrix. LEDs show the simple emotion of the
robot.
The robot is mainly printed on 3D
printer. The robot control unit is Arduino mega. The servo module has
not been used and it shows from time to time speech and movement
instability.
The robot's head is bare and without protection. It belongs to the Raw
Brain's style. This robot
experiment
will not be published in the building instructions. |
Design and implementation: Jaakko Muhonen
Year of manufacture: 2016
Central processing unit: Arduino Mega 2560 and Audeme MOVI speech synthesizer
