Mechatronics project for ME 507 at Cal Poly with Kendall Searing, Kick Bonafede. Hardware: Pyboard IMU Bluetooth module motor with CPR encoder Custom breakout board
@Zachary I’m a senior think about attending Cal Poly. If I enjoy making projects like this robot (hardware + programming) would it be better to major in ME with a concentration on mechatronics or major in EE?
So let me ask you I am playing with the idea of an autonomous lawn mower and was thinking of using maybe a beacon and multiple antennas to provide location data as well as mark boundries is there a method other than gps that you would suggest? My goal would be to have a mower that mowes in straight lines and can adjust for terrain, I certainly don't want the random pattern aproach.
Hello, I have a doubt about map building. I have a dataset which contain range and bearing angle for landmarks.Now the robot observe same landmarks several time whennever it move or turn.From this data set how could I find out original location of the landmarks?
Hey looks intersting, have you ever tried realsense Intel camera or dual camera for the same purpose as kind of SLAM or something, I think those sensors can be helpful too, Nice project :)
Hi this video is really cool. Are you using some kind of tool or application to do the mapping? Maybe I can do something similar with arrays in python Please someone answer maybe we can program together .
Not easily, I think it has been done. The Arduino generally is less powerful, so running the high level python language will slow it down. Arduino uses C/C++ functions. Sonar sensors can be extremely noisy, much more so than the IR sensors. You wont get as accurate distance measurements. Lasers range finders are the ideal option, but expensive.
+Zachary Arnott ok fine. But what if I have data file consist of timestamp,forward velocity and angular velocity of a robot which is measured using odometer? How could I used those data set to findout the robot position?
Could you share the source files? I'm trying to build similar to this

Did you use a 9g servo? It was precise enough?
Do you have a instructable for this mate?

How can i draw the map based on the data from sensor? Could you share the source files?

Nice project :)
what is the software that you used for graphical representation ?
A python library called tkinter

If the driving wheels lead instead of trail, the problem with carpet or crossing cables will go away.
Could you share the source files?
Could you share the code or at least which software you've been using?
what microcontroller do u use ? Also can u tell me about the procedure to make this robot ?
This video explaining the hardware/design should help. Let me know if you still have any questions. ruclips.net/video/TsM1figtt4c/видео.html
brother can u tell me can i use python in arduino ? and if i use ultrasonic sensor what problem or advantage i will have

Source files PLEASE?!
hello sir very nice video i want your help sir related to this project
cool ! How does the robot know its position ?
Marco F it is using encoders from the motor for distance combined with IMU data for direction.

+betolley For that you may use some obstacles avoidance algorithm like A*. I am not sure for this video but this is generalized concept.
Could you tell the components used?
This video talks through the components: ruclips.net/video/TsM1figtt4c/видео.html
Code please
