Leaf is a robot inspired by the computer game Creatures. One of our members began to develop a desktop simulation of one of these AI creatures called Norns. This particular critter was called Leaf. We decided that Leaf needed a physical body (i.e. robot). This forum is for the design/discussion and kibitzing of the build process. All are welcome to participate.

This is an open source project; both for hardware and software designs. Our goal is to provide all the information necessary for others to get started building their own robots. Please read the Open Source notice in the Introduction under “Files” before contributing a hardware design or software code to this project.

For much more information about the Leaf robots, see his website at http://leafproject.org.

NOTE: If you want to try building your own Leaf, you can start with just software on a PC. But, don't use the files on this mail list; they are mostly experimental. Go to the website "leafproject.org" to download the official files and instructions that actually work :-)
