K9 AUTONOMOUS ROBOT DOG

CONCEPT / INTRODUCTION

To produce a computer controlled robot using high level programming, which can move around a room or rooms in a house and respond to certain inputs. This will include obstacle avoidance and hopefully recognition of living things via heat and sound detection. The computer will process the inputs of the various sensors as well as driving the motors via various input and output circuitry.

This project started in January 2009 and has never been completed.

The Robot is my own design, although I did get various ideas from the Internet. Some of the design is far from perfect, but maybe this document will help you in making your own robot. www.societyofrobots.com was particularly useful.
