    This is stupid. Talk about overkill.

    How much processing power do you need to process a few sensors and drive a couple wheels? $200 bucks worth of palm? Uhh... how about $4 bucks worth of microcontroller like a nice 16C64 from PIC Microship microcontroller [microchip.com]? Enough to make a hardware guy cry! Onboard RAM, ROM, EEPROM.... mmmmm..... timers and interrupt vectors.... 20mA drive current.... whoo-hooo! Just need a few H-Bridges and a couple infrared leds and detectors. You wanted to know what to do with those old 5 1/4" drives... its time to get out those irons and solder suckers!

    I suppose this kit is nice for those software types that don't like to touch hardware, but what fun is that?

    If you REAALY dont want to challenge yourself, and don't want to touch hardware, I would think a nice Lego mindstorms kit would be better suited and more flexable. Reconfigurable, and you can always buy more motors and sensors.

    A freaking GUI for a robot? And thats a selling feature? Who needs a GUI anyways ;-)

  • Try to process those sensors and drive the motors using a neural net. Now try doing that on the platform you suggested. That's enough to make a software guy crazy!
  • I love this idea. Simple, easy to get going, I esp. like the spin & move at same time feature of those wheels...

    So what i want to do is:

    Control it with an iPaq running linux.
    Install wireless networking into the iPaq.
    Allow it to explore and learn it's enviroment, storing and retrieving info through wireless when it can't hold all it's data.
    Make it 'curious' When it senses something has changed about the way things are laid out (based off it's exsisting 'floor plan'), make it want to explore.
    Make it get 'hungry' and go automatically charge itself. (I know, have to add the hardware side support for that).
    Give it tasks: sweep the floor. Where I work would be perfect for this, large smooth concrete floor with lots of obstacles.
    When the floor was clean, do senseless acts like run a IA routine to find the quickest route between points (kinda a 'idle-time' task).
    etc...

    Ok, I know it can't do all that, but this is definately a jumping off point. It's the ultimate blend of hardware/software hacking.

    A great learning tool, too... can you imagine the reaction if you brought one into a class room that would do something cool like map out the room and wirelessly report the results back to a laptop? Have it show the room being explored in real time on the screen.

    This is gonna' be fun...

  • you think using a palm as the brains of a robot is impressive? last year at MIT's famous 6.270 autonomous lego robot competition, there was a demo of a robot built by a guy who didn't lottery into the class. he didn't have any of the supplies (legos, motors, x86 running linux, etc.), so he scrounged supplies himself. For the CPU he used his TI35 (i think that's the right model??) ... now that's pretty impressive!

    Are these guy's going for the MOST COSTLY robot to build with a Palm?

    From my calcs, this thing would cost over $250 - over the cost of a Palm!

    Heck, the wheels and servos alone cost over $100!

    Now, since this was all about a Palm robot, we can just say this is one part that is needed, and has other uses besides the robot, so let's not really factor it in...

    So how to make a cheaper robot? Start by dropping the holonomic drive! A simple two wheel approach will work fine, and will also save you on a servo. That alone will drop your cost by over $60 (not $75, because you make up the $10-$15 by using two normal R/C aircraft landing gear wheels bolted onto the servos). Save another $6.00 on the acrylic by taping the parts to a few FREE AOL CD's (as well as possibly creating a winning entry in the previously posted UltimateChaos contest!). Save around $30 by hooking up some matched IR LED/Transistor pairs instead of the sensors (you may have to calibrate this yourself - plus you might need a few more parts - but not much more - get one of those sensor interface Forrest Mims books at RatShack while yer at it). You'll also save close to $14.00 if you already have the glue, tape, and heat shrink tubing available (any geek worth his salt BETTER have these things handy). Finally, save the $32.00 for the battery, and spend only about $10.00 of it for a used ni-cad pack for a cell phone at your neighborhood electronics junk yard (provided you live in a place that has one or two).

    So, what do we have? I just told you how to save over $150 by a) dropping the holonomic drive, which only has value as being "the" thing to do in robotics today (seems like a fashion show!) b) using cheaper parts and stuff around you. Now, I say use that serial port thing, 'cause you probably couldn't do better on your own for less, and it is cheap and easy enough to use. However, know that they way they want you to build a table-top robot is a damn expensive way to go.

    Oh, almost forgot - since the cheaper way to do it involves the tank-drive approach, and this is a table-top robot, you don't need casters. If you want (or need) something to rest the fore/aft portions of the robot on, use a couple felt pads.

  • I built an autonomous robot based off of a Palm last semester for a research project at Penn State. Our robot was entered into the 2000 Trinity College Home Firefighting Competition(this was in May). I would post the web address but I still havent finished the documentation. Anyway - the point of the project was to have a small development platform. We evaluated using Metrowerks Codewarrior like the CMU team did but that requires a PC. Instead, we used PocketC - a small C interpreter for PalmOS. We chose this because you can edit and compile your source ON THE PALM - hence the reason for using such a powerful microprocessor. Another benefit of using the Palm is that anyone can drop their own Palm in to control the robot. This was useful in development - one person would work on navigation and have the library they wrote on their Palm while I would work on something else.

    For those people complaining that the CMU robot has too much processing power I want to point out that both the CMU robot and our robot can be controlled by anything that communicates serially.

    Anyway if you want the address of the site when I eventually finish it just email me. Thanks

    BTW - Acroname (http://www.acroname.com) had a Palm demo using the Pontech Servo Controller at the Trinity Competition. I talked to the designer of it at the competition and we compared how we solved certain obstacles.

  • What you say is correct - the point of the article is that this robot is cheap and easy. You can also wrap your own motors and mold your own wheels, but that's not the point.

  • Save around $30 by hooking up some matched IR LED/Transistor pairs instead of the sensors

    As the point of building the Palm Robot is to find a frivilous project to do with the palm (not to build a cheap robot), you wouldn't want to drop the sensors. An IR LED/Transistor pairs will tell you if there's an obstacle. But the sensor (using triangulation) will actually tell you the distance to the obstacle, which is way cooler.

  • Somewhere I have a 1985 copy of Personal Computer World magazine with an article describing how to build one of these things around the Sinclair ZX81 ...
  • While you wouldn't get an extremely accurate measurement this way, you would get close enough for a tabletop environment:

    Measure the IR light level (which is all I bet these "sensors" actually do - but I might be wrong here) with the IR LED/Transistor pair at various distances to an object, and build a table of thresholds to know roughly how close the sensor is to an object (on your tabletop environment). It might even be possible to calculate this with ratios (probably have to factor in the square root of distance thing as well).

    I also noted that the Palm could be left off the cost of the complete robot, because it was useful and could be used for other things in its own right.

  • "Anyway, the point is to make something cool with stuff that you might have lying around."

    I'll bet 1/5 of the readers do have Mindstorms kits lying around...And the rest are getting them for xmas. FWIW, you can get serially addressable H-bridges and stepper drivers almost as easily as servo controllers. It's easy to go nuts with these once you have them.

    Noone has these lying around, but those omnidirectional wheels are something new-ish in the fairly staid field of homebrew robotics, and would be fun to noodle with whether driven from a PIC or an Athlon. Good for mazes, I'm sure.

    The same foam-tape-and-superglue chassis could apply, but with a Basic Stamp II [parallax.com] or (better and multitasking) BasicX-24 [basicx.com], you wouldn't tie up your Palm--you could even use the Palm's IR to interact with the beast.

  • The pipes that plug into the carnegie are MASSIVE, to put it mildly. Multiple T3 connections feed both the museum and the university with the bandwidth from hell - two gigs off of Napster in one work shift. Seriously though, their robotics program is the BOMB.

It's no surprise that someone figured out how to wire one up.... You should have seen the test of one of the museum robots being controlled through a gigabit ethernet pipe via remote by a guy at the robotics faccility- I'm surprised THAT wasn't posted, it was quite impressive...

  • drop the holonomic drive??!! That's the coolest part! combined with the processing power of the palm, you can write all kinds of interesting navigation behaviors with this thing. attach a pen to it, and you could write legiblely in cursive.

    unfortunately the company that sells the wheels has a $100 minimum order! (well, actually a $25 extra service charge for orders under $100) anyone in the sf bay area want to pitch in with me on buying some wheels? i'm planning on building a modified version of this (possibly using an OOPic (www.oopic.com) as the processor instead of a Palm, mainly because i'm interesting in learning to program the oopic).

  • Robocup2000 [robocup2000.org] also had a section with simulated robots. The problem though is when trying to simulate a specified existing hardware. There are many real world variables that can make quite a bit of difference: the color and the material of the surfaces can affect the performance of the infrared sensors. And if you start using sonars then there can be a lot of noise to deal with.
  • Hey, I agree that the holonomic drive is a cool part, but for making a cheap table top robot, it is kinda overkill (now, if they were touting a cheap holonomic drive robot - hey, no contest!).

    I would admire the whole thing more if they told you how to build your own holonomic drive wheels from scratch (they don't seem like a very hard part to build - I bet you could make some out of drill saw rounds and a few wooden beads, with proper application of a Dremel).

    I don't think I agree with the choice to use PalmOS as the operating system of choice to guide a robot. You're going to want as much low-end control as possible considering the small processor, so wiping the memory and writing from assembly would've been my plan.

    BTW, I had no interest in PDAs until I saw the Handspring. Modules rule!!! The only drawback I've heard of is that the Handspring supposedly can't be upgraded, as it has no flash memory.

Who wants to write a program that listens on the serial port and draws a simulated robot in a simulated "room"? The program would send the Palm "feedback" as the "robot" moved about the "room." It would be fun to be able to move obstacles around this virtual environment as well.
