I've been interested in computer controlled mobile platforms (I didn't
say robot, ok?) since about 1979 or so. I went to the International
Science and Engineering Fair in both
1981 and
1982
with a robot based on a KIM-1 computer. Ok, it wasn't too great, but
given I was running in less than 1K of code, it was pretty cute.
While I was in college, my interest level in robotics resurfaced, and I
rebuilt my ISEF robot around a Hitachi 64180 8-bit uP. The current
robot
is housed in a upturned laundry basket.
In any case, here are some of the WWW robotics resources that I've found
interesting.
-
Douglas W. Jones has a page on
stepping motors
that is quite complete.
-
MondoTronics has just
come online with a WWW page that specilizes on current books in the hobby
robotics fields, their line of shape memory alloy products, and links to
robotic competitions world wide.
-
JPL Telerobotics

You may have been there before, but check out some of the latest robots
from builders around the world at Arrick Robotics
