Electrical actuators PPT

WIFIBOT



WIFIBOT is a french company that manufactures robots with cameras and WiFi conections. Even though it is a small company, it has some interesting robots, including some that besides cameras, have robotic arms.
In this video, we see how someone created a client for the Sony console (PSP) to send the robot video through a wireless network. The processing limitations caused that the transmission was slow and the frames per second received is really low.

This video shows the potential of today's technologies.

The technicians

The technicians team is composed of 8 curious members with a free spirit.

Aracely– a leader by nature, she knows how to movitvate a team to accomplish their objectives besides she has a lot of knowledge in the area of power electronics.

Leslie-Beautiful and dangerous, when she is not soldiering circuits, she defies the laws of gravity building inverted pendules.

Michelle- Expert in math and algorithms, she took advanced courses in the university of San Angelo in the area of matrices, including solving jacobine matrices of more than 2 dimensions.

Adrián-Expert programmer, he knows assembly and C. He has been given several national awards in the area of electronics.

Oscar- He has a lot of experience in the industry. He has unusual abilities, a wide knowledge on pieces design and computational modeling.

Tito-Expert in sensor handling, has deep bonds with diferent national and international providers of electrical components.

Julio- Guru in the area of analog electronics. He knows better than no one the handling of filters and the functioning of op-amps.

Diego- Master in the area of digital signal processing and with an extreme curiosity that guides him to be able to program Fourier Transoforms in even the most basic microcontrollers.

Battery

In the advance for this week we find the acquisition of a sealed rechargable battery that offers us 12 volts besides a work capacity of 7 ampers-hour, with a weight of 1.7 kilograms, this battery was given by a professor and we will start to make tests with it. Most likely, our final model will have a lighter battery, but with less capacity.

Let's begin

This is the first entry of our blog, on which we will describe our advance in our project for the robotics class with the professor Javier Rubio.

Our project consists on the development of a surveillance robot that will take pictures at certain amount of time and will follow a defined path during the night.
