BIOLOID Robot

Bioloid robot kit is composed of several parts that we can raft into a robot at will. And this one is not a robot toy kids age 7, as part-part provided quite technical and need sufficient knowledge (not necessarily a genius). With the Bioloid, we can assemble any type of robot, as long as we have enough parts. Then program the robot motion and the nature of the use of software that has been provided. Examples of motions that can be applied to the transformation, such as its initial form was a car, then be automatically transformed into a robot standing. Can be connected directly to the PC / Laptop (USB / Wireless) or by radio control. Can be fitted with cameras to laser heat. Then there is also a sound detector, light, distance, etc.. Anyway dijadiin any kind could be: roll:

How does it work?. The main part is Dynamixel Bioloid robot moves, a type of R / C servo (dynamo), but different from the R / C servo normal, Dyamixel work in a network that has a feedback function. That way, all the Bioloid Dynamixel can cooperate with each other to send feedback.


For example, to create a robot hand, it would require 3 axis, ie shoulder, elbow and wrist. So we need 3 Dynamixel. One placed on the shoulder, the elbow and the last on the wrist. Then for the wave motion (for example), then this third Dynamixel communicate with each other in performing each movement so that the axes can simulate the movement of the hand waving. Simple is not it?. A large number of Dynamixel on the design of a robot depends on us. Consider it for a hand / foot 3 dynamixel necessary, it would require about 12 dynamixel (or more) to create human-like robot. But it all back on the design that we have, because with the slightest amount of Dynamixel we still can make the desired robot provided designnya right.

 

The next part is not less important is the CM-5, this is the main part that controls all Dynamixel. Since this is centralnya, so for a robot is usually only need 1 piece of CM-5. Part of this can be regarded as a small computer, in which there are various kinds of instructions that move every Dynamixel. We do not have to worry about this part, because he works automatically according to the instructions given. Simply put it on our robot and connect it to all Dynamixel. CM-5 receive instruction from the PC / controller to then give orders to Dynamixel to move.

 The third part which is the primary key bioloid. With PC / Laptop, we turn on the software that has been provided, then connect a PC / Laptop with the CM-5 we are on bioloid using the USB cable provided, then the robot bioloid ready to operate. By way of work as follows: PC / Laptop to send instructions to the CM-5, then the CM-5 receive instruction and ordered Dynamixel to move.

Then the part that is also controlled by the CM-5 is the Sensor Module (AX-S1), part of this function to detect distance, detect voice, and so forth.

Next is part-part frame, casing-casing that is little that can be attached to parts of the body of the robot, then screws, wires, stickers, and so forth.
 
 
Bioloid itself sold in paketan and separate. For the package, there are types Beginner (beginner) that contains a CM-5, 4 ​​Dynamixel, 1 piece sensor module, battery, external power, CD, manual, part-part and other accessories. Then the other packages are Comprehensive and Expert, which contain more parts and can apply a lot more. Bioloid also sold separately, where we can buy dynamixel and other part-part individually.
