An innovative off-road wheeled mobile robot ,named Octopus, able to deal autonomously with obstacles in rough terrain without getting stuck. To achieve such a perfomance. the robot is equipped with tilt sensors and tactile wheels. The sophisticated locomotion mechanism of octopus has 8 motorized wheels and a total of 15 degrees of freedom (14 of them are motorized).
A two dimentional static model and a controller are proposed. The inputs of the controller are the contact points with ground, the geometric angles of the articulations, and the direction of the gravity field. The output of the controller are the torquest for the wheels, the torques for forearms, and the position set point for the body. For read more see here

How to Interface a Microchip PIC MCU with a hobby R/C Servo
Servo motors can be used with success in several different robotic applications. The have a very simple electrical interface and are available in a great assortment of specifications and prices. Usually one can get started with a very cheap one. This paper will show how to control one of these servos using a PC and a microchip PIC microcontroller. For read more see here.

Programming Lego robot using NQC
The Lego Minstroms and CyberMaster robots are wonderful new toys from wich a wide variaty of robots can be contructed, that can programed to do all sorts of complicated tasks. Unfortunately, the software that comes with the robots is , although visually attractive, rather limited in functionality. Hence, it can only be used for simple tasks.
To unleash the full power of robots, you need a different programmming environment. NQC is prograamming language written by Dave Baum, that was especially designed for the Lego robots. For complete report can look at here.

Microprocessor Controlled Vehicle Robot
The UEL group project should force students working together as a small group. Therefore a vehicle, called "MIcromouse" was to be designed and built up.
Aim of project is to win the final race, wich consist of three round each 2 lap on a small rectangular maze. For the complete report can read on here
