Robots

Below are some of our robotics projects:

VEX EDR Tank.

This was my first experiment using ROS (Robotic Operating System)  The idea was to make a self-driving tank using VEX EDR as the building platform, ROS for software and a Lidar sensor.

Once the mapping was working, I then mounted it to a larger VEX platform

 

VEX EDR Humanoid

So the aim of this project was to learn more about the maths of robotics.  I had to code everything for this robot in C so that given an XYZ in space, the robot could work out how to move its arms to reach that object.  A lot of trigonometry was used!

It now has a head :) #robotics is #epic. @vexrobotics

 

LEGO Humanoid

This was one of my most fun project in LEGO and was invited to a TEDx event in London.  I built this robot for the LEGO charity event organized by FairyBricks called Bricktastic.  It’s main job was to greet the visitors as it could talk.!
