author=Johnny Rieper, Bent Bisballe Nyeng and Kasper Sohn title=Marvin - The Balancing Robot. Introduction This project is the final part of the course Embedded Systems – Embodied Agents at the University of Aarhus 2008. The outline of the project is to demonstrate a practical implementation based on some of the theory acquired during preliminary lab sessions and lectures during the course. In our case we are building a balancing robot using the LEGO Mindstorm Kit and uti…

LAB1 Date: September 5th 2008 Duration of activity: 9-13.30 Participants: Kasper, Johnny og Bent Formål: Formålet med denne øvelse er at få installeret software og oprette kommunikation via USB/Bluetooth til NXT modulet, som vi har døbt Marvin. Herefter er det planen at lave en lille test af lys aktuatoren/sensoren ved at udlæse værdier målt ved forskellige underlag/farver. Til sidst uploades et lille program til Marvin, hvor robotten gerne skal kunne følge en sort linje ved hjælp af lys ak…

LAB2 Date: September 12th 2008 Duration of activity: 9-13 Participants: Kasper, Johnny og Bent Formål: I denne øvelse skal der laves en test af ultralydssensorens målepræcision ved forskellige afstande. Derefter skal der vha. af ultralydssensoren laves en wall-follower, hvilket vil sige at Marvin skal kunne køre langs en væg og holde en given afstand.

Lab rapport 3 Date: September 19th 2008 Duration of activity: 8-12 Participants: Bent and Johnny Purpose In this lesson we will use the NXT sound sensor to turn the LEGO 9797 car into a sound controlled car. Test of the Sound Sensor The purpose of this test is to make a simple test of the microphone sensitivity to sound coming from different directions. The microphone is placed in the center of a closed room of 3x3m and a key bundle is used as our sound generator. It was found that clappi…

Lab report 6 Date: October 7th 2008 Duration of activity: 8-13 Participants: Kasper, Bent and Johnny Purpose The purpose of this exercise is to make a line following robot to compete in the robot race. We have abandoned the idea of drive the wheels in opposite directions and instead make a more intelligent steering based on the thesis that it is better move forward at all times when working on a car which is intented for time trials.
