Summary We used two stepper motors to drive a steel ball scavenged from a ball-bearing. These motors were controlled by a PS/2 mouse wirelessly using the RCR-433 and RCT-433 receiver/transmission combination mentioned in lecture. We then took the PS/2 protocol, made it compact, modified existing transmission code and deduced a way to control the robot […]

Introduction For our project, we designed a glove that can be used to control the Cornell University robotic Snake arm thereby enabling a surgeon to remotely operate the snakearm as a colonoscope in conjunction with a vision guide system (aka TV goggles). The glove allows for movement of the arm’s segments as a whole and

I. Introduction We used the Wiimote’s IR tracking capability and Bluetooth to wirelessly control a robotic crane arm. The Wiimote is a powerful gadget and we wanted to build a new hack with it. Our crane is composed of three servo motors, one of which is connected to a gripper. The servos are controlled by

Introduction Sensing in autonomous vehicles is a growing field due to a wide array of military and reconnaissance applications. The Adaptive Communications and Signals Processing Group (ACSP) research group at Cornell specializes in studying various aspects of autonomous vehicle control. Previously, ACSP has examined video sensing for autonomous control. Our goal is to build on

Introduction Our project consisted of an elementary eight neuron network that used Hebbian Learning to train a robot to respond intelligently to input light stimuli. First, we decided upon a task that would accurately denote Hebbian learning. One of the most common examples of conditional learning such as Hebbian learning is seen in Pavlovs experiment

Introduction Our project is an autonomous toy car that tracks a high pitched audio signal. Using two microphones, a microcontroller, and two DC motors on an existing remote controlled car and, we implemented our own control logic to detect high pitched 3.5kHz audio signals and drive the car. This project consists of both software
