Making Simple Robots Simpler to Make by Making Them Simpler

This article discusses the simplification of robot-making process by making robots simpler in terms of power, mass, and cost. It covers topics such as microcontrollers, PWM control, radio communication, and methodology. The motivation behind this approach is to achieve more efficient and cost-effective robot designs. The article includes relevant images and references for further understanding.

  7. So…Schaft Isn’t Awesome? • Quite the opposite: Schaft is TOO awesome • *when all you want to do is move over grass • Sometimes simpler is better • If remove sensors, actuators, computation • Get lower power, mass, and cost • Less is more!

  8. Some simplifying tricks we use http://isites.harvard.edu/fs/docs/icb.topic867444.files/images/flotation2.png http://isites.harvard.edu/fs/docs/icb.topic867444.files/images/flotation.png http://history.nasa.gov/SP-367/f139.htm http://www.ece.uvic.ca/~elec499/2005b/group20/software/tri_gait.jpg http://www.modelairplane.cadblog.net/helicopter_stability_control.htm
