Hi I am building a line following robot. I am using the CMU cam for following the line. I am not using the SX microcontroller which comes along with the CMU...
What are good RTC clock chips with serial interfaces? I'd be interested in a module for convenience (including crystal/osc), especially if they aren't ...
What kind of interface SPI or I2C? For the SPI buss I use the DS1306. This connects directly to the 68HC11 and 68HC12 micro controllers. For the I2C buss I...
I'm 13 and an amateur at this, but listen to this idea that I had for a wall-hugging robot. It runs on two rear mounted motors. a potentiometer balances out...
Sounds cool! You could have the feeler turn off the motor furthest from the wall. That would be a lot easier. -Lyle...

I'm currently exploring and experimenting with various serial interfaces since it's pretty easy with the basic stamp that I accidentally bought after the last...
Hello all. I'm in search of Mabuchi RS-755VC motors. I've searched high and low for 3 days and have almost given up. I've searched surplus and every other...
Hi All, I have just posted a substantial article on applying Subsumption Architecture to robots. I have noted a lack of information on this subject on this...
... Not bad, although as a builder of Battlebots, I think you could have done without this little dig - "(Not the fake ones on TV, which are basically radio ...
Hello Chris, I wanted to read your article but unfortunately my eyes have a problem with the lack of contrast between the black background and the darker blue...
Hmm, the blue color scheme doesn't personally bother me, but as a general tip, John, you can do "edit,select-all" in your browser; this selects all the text...
I thought the elegance of the Subsumption architecture is that upper level routines don't need to know *anything* about the lower level routines and ...
Yes, your right, Ill take care of that, thanks for your honesty. ... this ... the ... have done ... basically radio ... the article ... subsystems - ... ...
If you look at Chris's model, though, Avoid is at the bottom level, and is subsumed by everything else...in this model, Wander needs to understand when to...
Larry, SA is certainly a fuzzy concept. I like your method a lot, and certainly many others I have read about. It is quite flexible, and can be simplified...
John: Why does the algorithm need to go through other levels to get to "control motors"? Why can't each level deal with a sub-set of sensors and outputs...
Nice article Chris. That's some useful stuff! I've posted these refernces before, but I think they are good enough to warrant reiteration. They answer some...

... You've just invented the Neural Net. :-) Which is more on a non-heirarchical version of this. One thing that has been really annoying me about researching...
Don't want to send a bunch of separate replies, so: Larry: My diagram wasn't clear...the higher levels don't have to go through the lower levels to "control...
John, You wrote "I really dig the idea of emergent behaviors, and it seems S.A. and similar architectures have the potential to exhibit emergent complexity." ...
Hmm, long long ago, in freshman AI class, we read a book, I think it was Herbert Simon, "Sciences of the Artificial". If I remember correctly, one of his...
... Can't say that I have. Using a Neuron for "Keep Alive" is an interesting idea. Although I think that if one is running a safety system like an RC or IR...
Fred, I am just exploring ramtrom chips (FRAM) and they have RTC equipped FRAM. I need a SPI one, but if you are into 2 wire / I2C take a peek at this (never...
Lyle: The concept is indeed two decades old, but with todays super cheap processors it is easier than ever before to try out in home robotics. When I did a...
Hi Joseph Jones' (of Jones and Flynn, "Mobile Robots: Inspiration to Implementation") new book is "Robot Programming: A Practical Guide to Behavior Based...
