Linux robotics

I am a new to the group and I am looking forward to meeting all of you at the next meeting. I brew my own beer, so I’ll have to bring some.

I was wondering if there was anyone in the group who knew of anyone doing Linux chip programming for robotics.

Not me but it sounds pretty damn cool. The only robotics I have are two Roombas (one broken sadly) and one of those RoboSapians I got as an Xmas gift. I didn’t even know there were loads of mods for those until Robio asked me if I did “The flamethrower mod”. Figures Robio would know about flame thrower mods…

So what kind of robotic programming chips do you do/want to know about?

I’m also new and looking forward to the next meeting. I am interested in Linux robotics amongst other things. I assume by Linux chip programming you are referring to using embedded Linux. I am personally interested in the PC Linux approach, with a design similar to the Open Automation Project (http://oap.sourceforge.net/).

So far I’ve experimented with a VIA mini-ITX board running SLAX off a USB Flash drive. I started working on interfacing this with an MIT Handy Board but the communication was unreliable, or buggy ;-).

Linux robotics? Not sure if this will be helpful but we have bluray jukebox/libraries that utilize Linux robotics for the internal parts etc. I’ll be more than glad to share…

Does someone want to give a talk about Robotics at the April meeting? I wont make you fix my Roomba :-)

I am wondering we can use PIC for this, anyways Im looking to do robotics and artificial intelligance and wish to built and design robotics systems in the coming years. what to say, m not a pro in this

i m new here and had not attended any meting yet.but i m looking forward to the next meeting.i m very much interested in robotics.hopefully i will get some useful tips for the programming of robotics and artificial intelligence system.
