Last update was posted in the last year. It's so obvious to see
how busy/lazy I was in the past half year.
Tick and I are managed to build a robot project based on Beagleboard. We plan to share this project and concepts behind this on the event of COSCUP.
Well, I can say so far, the most tough work is not writing software to control robot. Instead, it's all about hardware such as providing power to servos. The ultimate goal is to make everything on robot wireless such as communication and power supply. Of course high capacity battery becomes the only option. Initially, we tried Ni-MH battery bought from RC car store. Even battery is full, it can't drive all revolute joints (servos). So we need plan B. :(
Occasionally, I found lead acid battery might be the candidate. After go shopping in the Guang-Hua market, Its voltage and capacity and size are all satisfied with our requirement. Most of important, it could drive all servos, totally 18 servos. Here is snapshot of the battery and debut robot.
