Adaptive biomech motor controller - abcore

[rickey1990]

These boards are designed to be cheap, so groups and schools can afford them to teach basic electronics skills, plus you get a robot at the end of it., 100 kits - 100 boards, all the components, 100 motors, 100 battery boxs, Come to around £220. the boards can be used in various ways, you can link them for a master slave config. you can make individual robots that join together, producing different states. another example is using two independent Abcores. this gives the robot two states: turning and forward. Under normal conditions, forward is the least energy state. So the robot will continue forward until a flagellum strikes an obstacle and loads up the motor. It will then reverse the flagellum and go into the turn state. This puts a higher load on the motor and thus, after a few seconds, the Abcore will reverse and resume moving forward.
