Robostool follows you to your chair
posted Jul 3rd 2010 7:04am by Caleb Kraftfiled under: robots hacks
[Steve] shares another project with us, this time a robotic foot stool. A Parallax Propeller micro controller, some linear actuators, servos, and a slew of sensors are enclosed in this vinyl covered cube. It has 3 modes, remote control, follow me (seen in the video above), and come to the beacon. This, along with [Steve]‘s other creations make us think that his ultimate goal is to have a house full of servant bots eager to carry out every task that would pull him from his chair. That seems like a noble goal to us. You can download source code and schematics from his site. Join us after the break to see more pictures and videos of Robostool.
Here you can see the mode where Robostool comes to him. We’re curious how it knew which way to go.
Here is a picture of the internals.
