|| Fundamentals of Robotics - Part I || 😇
I feel fortunate to get trained for Spark V Robotics. Our college is organizing a Robotics training session for enthusiasts like me. I would like to share some of my experience in this post.
Introduction
Spark V is a low cost robot designed for robotics hobbyists and enthusiasts like me. It is designed by NEX Robotics with Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Bombay. I am 2nd yr Computer Engineering student at Atharva College of Engineering.
Spark V helped me & my colleagues to get acquainted with the world of robotics and embedded systems. I would like to wholeheartedly Thank to its innovative architecture and adoption of the ‘Open Source Philosophy’ in its software and hardware design, we will be able to create and contribute to complex applications that run on this platform, helping us acquire expertise as we spend more time with them.
Features & Mechanism
Spark V robot is based on ATMEGA16A microcontroller. Robot comes with rechargeable 7.2V
600mA NiMH Battery and onboard intelligent battery charger. It has 3 analog white line sensors, 3 analog IR Proximity sensors, 3 directional light intensity sensors, battery voltage sensing, TSOP1738 IR receiver for TV remote control and Position encoders. Robot has support for 3 MaxBotix EZ series ultrasonic range sensors. It also has support for the servo mounted sensor pod which can be used to make 180 degrees scan for the map making. Robot is powered by 6 cell 7.2V 600mA rechargeable NiMH batteries which gives about one hour battery operation.
Robot has built-in Smart Battery Controller which charges the battery in intelligent way and also monitors the battery charge level when robot is in operation. Robot has 2x16 alphanumeric LCD, Lots of LED indicators for quick debugging, Buzzer etc. Motors are controlled by L293D motor driver. Robot gives top speed of 15cm to 20cm per second depending on the model.
Robot has USB interface for PC connectivity. Robot has onboard socket for XBee
wireless module for multi robot and robot to PC communication. You can also control this robot over GUI from NEX Robotics over wired (USB) and wireless (XBee wireless modules) medium. Firmware (.hex file) is loaded on the robot using Boot-loader Utility from NEX Robotics. There is no need to use external programmer. There are additional empty soldering points at each pin of the micro-controller so that you can access them for customization of the robot.
We had a great time learning the fundamentals of Robotics.
