The I-guide is a robot mounted on wheels that is programed to start and stop at different locations in the SETC. At each stop the screen will talk and give you an overview of where you are in the center and the function of the area that you're at. The screen in the robot displays an animated face will have contain all the information on it while directing you so you do not miss any important information or directions. Once the message is given the robot will then automatically start up again and continue on to the next stop. Our I-guide robot incorporated the Scratch program, Press-Fit from Fab Lab and Arduino Boards which has to do with Modkit. We use Modkit to navigate the robot in different directions. Scratch is incorporated in our project to use for the screen of the robot. Press-Fit is used when we build in certain parts of the I-guide to make the physical structure.
Other projects that is similar to the I-guide is the I-Bed and Billy the Trash Can. They are programed the same way as the I-guide. The I-Guide is programed with modkit and arduino. the only thing that might be actually different is we actually use scratch because we have a screen to our robot.
This is something like the I-guide except it guides people in different way. This project is called the four legged robot guide dog. This project was created last year 11/21/11. The guide dog can be programmed for blind people and people with other disabilities.
Today James and Sule started fabricating pieces for the final project.
Thursday 7/26/12
Today James finally finished the final physical piece of the project. Sule began to program and put everything into the box
Thursday 8/9/12
Today we got our new motors so James is working in the fab lab, Sule working with the motor, Renic and Somtoo working on wiki
Wednesday 8/15/12
Today James plans on discovering a way to make the wheels on the iGuide capable of holding the entire structure while being able to rotate and do the task of giving a tour of the technology center and Renic was busy taking the wheels off of the truck. Sule and Somto painted the robot
Saturday 8/18/12
Today is the day of the project expo. Somto and Renic are making the poster board.
