ZappBot 3 – Tracked Humanoid Torso Robot
ZappBot 3 – Tracked Humanoid Torso Robot
It’s November 29, 2011 and I have been collecting parts for this Robot for about a year and started the build about November 1, 2011.
The robot is 11″ Wide, 12″ Deep and 21″ Tall.
It is controlled by a Propeller Chip P8X32A-D40 and a Digi XBee 1 mW Radio Module.
I can type commands on my PC keyboard to remote control the robot via a radio link.
The robot is programmed in Spin code.
At the present time I can send the following commands to the robot:
- Move the Entire Robot
- Forward, Backward, Rotate Clockwise, Rotate Counter-clockwise, Stop
- Rotate the Torso
- Left, Right, Center
- Control the Head Movement
- Pan Left, Pan Right, Pan Center
- Tilt Up, Tilt Down, Tilt Level
