Datasheet

Controlling the Biped
The robot is available in two basic configurations, Animatronic (tethered
connection to a PC) or Autonomous (controlled by the onboard Basic Atom Pro
processor). The autonomous version includes the Bot Board II and the Basic
Atom Pro processor. We have several sample programs that allow the robot to
roam without bumping into objects, get up by itself if it falls, and exhibit other
behaviors such as boredom or surprise. We even have a "seek and destroy"
tutorial showing how to make the robot locate, home in, and kick water
bottles. There is also a template program that is easy to edit to add other
sensors or behaviors. The PC version uses our SSC-32 and the Visual Sequencer
to control the robots motion. It's a tethered configuration but can be made
wireless with a wireless serial device such as the Sparkfun BlueSMiRF modem.
We have 10 example sequences for the Visual Sequencer to get the robot
going right away.
