Hello geeks, Check out this little robot that i made and tell me what you think. More info will be given to those who ask :)

Autonomous Robot
Very nice work man! Its really nice, keep it up! :)
well,I have a question,could it be controlled by an RC?
idea:if yes,then you can attach a camera,it would be awesome!
btw, amazing job! keep it up :)

Thanks Omar, It can be controlled by anything, i already made one a while ago that has a built in camera and controlled by a PC and RC remote .omar_killer wrotewell,I have a question,could it be controlled by an RC?

This is not necessarily the most complex thing that i have built, its actually simple and this is what it has to do, no more development on this one :)
Thanks Ayman ! :)

Nice work J4D.
But, why not use the same bot for something a little bit more interesting; to mimic the behavior of a cockroach!
Cockroaches are hideous little creatures who run away when exposed to light to find a darker corner in the room. they use their whiskers (antennas) to avoid obstacle and are sensible to air and ground vibration (sensible to sound to some extent which they interpret as danger).
They eat almost everything wood,cloth,dead insect and they do mate a lot!
Your bot can be turned easily to a cockroach:
- you can use your infrared obstacle avoidance system as antennas for the cockroach
- your photo resistor can alert the cockroach when exposed to a light source and can help the cockroach find the "romantic" dark spot in the room
- Add a mic to your bot, and your cockroach will be sensible to high sounds thus danger, the mic will save his life!
As for mating, we need to find a female for our beloved cockroach, the female cockroach is nothing more than an infrared led emitting at a specific frequency. when our cockroach picks up the scent of the female, in our case her infrared frequency, he hurry up to her to mate
Now, we can program the cockroach by using a simple finite state machine algorithm.
Now try to picture your cockroach in the living room, the light in the room is switched off, the cockroach is idle, when you turn on the light, the cockroach start running like crazy to find a darker spot, he avoids the table on his way to go hide in the dark corner, you approach the dark corner slowly and try to step on the cockroach, sensing the danger, the cockroach is off running again
while running, your cockroach senses the waves of a female, and since this is its highest priority, he forgets about you and goes to his beloved female to reproduce!
The interesting part in all this is the ability to mimic a living creature.
That's the ultimate goal of robotics

Weird indeed...
Why isnt "mating"(a polite way to say s*x) in the Geeks books?Georges wroteFap Fap Fap ^.^xterm wroteYou're weird Martin Luther!Martin Luther wrotewhile running, your cockroach senses the waves of a female, and since this is its highest priority, he forgets about you and goes to his beloved female to reproduce!

People seem to always want robots to have sex :P
Geeks do not mate.
Don't these ideas really require PCBs, actuators, motors,etc...? ;) (wink wink)Martin Luther wroteNice work J4D.

Robot porn... a million dollar idea!!J4D wrotePeople seem to always want robots to have sex :P
Other than that, congrats J4D on yet another awesome robot ^^
- Edited
Dont worry i am sure one day robots will reach the prostitution business.
Great work J4D.

not bad... the PCB's are a disaster, could be made much smaller
You either don't know what you are talking about, or you are stupid :) And i personally say you go with both.
Show us what you are made of. I'm quiet fed up with such claims here on lebgeeks.
These users join lebgeeks just to make these silly and worthless comments. one example is martin luther above and twisted. I really don't have to respond to such posts. But i always find my self obliged to, since if i don't it'll look as if i agree with what they say !
Go play somewhere else, kids.

dude relax you asked everybody what they think ! its a free country (not exactly.. but anyway) i dont really appreciate you calling people stupid just for having a different opinion.
Im just saying that the PCB’s are not well organized in other words ugly.. notice how the LEDs are jammed in the fem. connector... the huge switch down there its not exactly what i call a well made PCB i havent seen your schematics to really say about the design... but it works that the good thing
and if ur wondering i have made much much better PCB's havent yet made any robots but im sure i can do a better job :D
cheers,

Excuse me Mr J4D but i started my comment with "Nice work J4D..." and i suggested an interesting and instructive idea for your robot and the community, but it seems you are not open for criticism and you consider yourself the 'One' in robotics and you expect all members to praise the all mighty J4D.J4D wroteThese users join lebgeeks just to make these silly and worthless comments. one example is martin luther above and twisted.
Man, you should be humble and open for ideas and critisicm for this is the way to grow in your robotics ventures.
@J4D, Martin Luther, TWISTED and the rest
I urge you to please not start flaming each other. Can we please keep this place a cool chill one instead?
Thanks for your understanding.

@J4D : nice work, i have a question, where do you get the electronic parts, and stuff like wheels etc...?
