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.
