About This Site

This web site is devoted to Dave’s Robotic projects.  Each robot builds upon the prior to reuse as much software and hardware as practical.  I learn with each new robot, so they usually get better with time :-)

To see photos of each robot, click on the pictures above.

To see videos, please search for “Loki Robot” on YouTube.  Here are some:

  • Loki Cleans Up  – This shows Loki looking for objects on the floor and picking them up, using the Kinect sensor for 3D object detection. (NEW!) 
  • Loki Robot 1 - First video of Loki, when he just had one arm.  Testing out his conversational AI.
  • Loki Robot 2 – Exploring the House.  This shows Loki’s navigational capabilities using his built-in map and A* navigation.
  • Loki Robot 3 – New Arm and Object Recognition.  Using OpenCV SURF for object detection, and showing off some Karate moves.
  • Dancing Robot; Loki’s little brother- This is a RoboNova robot I built, and programmed rock out with “Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto”

 In the Design area, I have photos of the robots during construction, as well as schematics, software design overview, and the source code for Loki, Turtle, and Seeker.  I hope you find this information helpful in your own designs.
