چکیده
This paper describes our work on high quality rapid prototyping. The focus is on techniques that produce prototypes of desired quality and yet do not take long to build. We present necessary information about methods of control, power, sensors, batteries, electronics, and more. We outline materials, methods, and tools. We also explain how to use servomotors, Lego, and electronics to achieve satisfying results. Figure 1 shows an example of the kind of project. With the right tools and materials, and with parts on hand, the omni wheel telerobot took less than half an hour from conception to completion.

Rapid Prototyping for Interactive Robots
A major problem for the development of interactive robots is the user requirement definition, especially the requirements of the appearance and the behavior of the robot. This paper proposes to tackle the problem using the well-known rapid prototyping method from the software engineering, with detailed prototyping techniques adjusted for the nature of the robots and the tactile human-robot inte...
متن کاملProposal for a Rapid Prototyping Environment for Algorithms Intended for Autonoumus Mobile Robot Control
In the paper, the author provides a proposal of a quick prototyping environment for algorithms controlling homogenous, autonomous mobile robots. The solution proposed enables monitoring of the operation of a group of mobile robots consisting of the recording of motion parameters and signals from distance detectors as well as of controlling the drive units. Furthermore, the solution is flexible,...
متن کاملInteractive robogami: An end-to-end system for design of robots with ground locomotion
This paper aims to democratize the design and fabrication of robots, enabling people of all skill levels to make robots without needing expert domain knowledge. Existing work in computational design and rapid fabrication has explored this question of customization for physical objects but so far has not been able to conquer the complexity of robot designs. We have developed Interactive Robogami...

This paper describes a rapid prototyping platform developed to address the complex design of real-time decision and control strategies for commercially-available mobile robots. The platform consists in a microprocessor board fully controllable in Matlab/Simulink object-oriented programming environment, directly connected through a serial link and a specific communication protocol to the mobile ...
متن کاملDigital anD Physical comPuting for inDustrial robots in architecture Interfacing Arduino with industrial robots
Customisation is one of the most important topics in architecture, as architects generally work on individual prototypes instead of mass-produced designs. By using customised design and fabrication tools, architects are able to individually respond to challenges, instead of relying on universal software tools. This paper proposes new software components for interfacing industrial robots with ph...
