Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “BeagleBone Motor Control Cape at CES 2014”.
Hi, I’m Amy see there with texas instruments and we’re here today at our booth at CES, i’m showing off some new technology using the BeagleBone black platform. That’S based on the sitara am335x processor. In this design you see created by some students at the University of California. San Diego and they’ve created a motor control pink through this motor control. Cape attached to the BeagleBone black they’re able to do algorithms to balance this robot all through linux, so all done, and software and no additional hardware required components of this are purchased off the shelf. As well as created through a 3d printer, all of this has being sold as a kit for use and for educational purposes. But the really exciting thing about this platform is that it’s also going to be commercialized.
What you’re looking at here is a prototype for an end product. That’S going to be launched to the market by wowee. The mid robot M is going to be available in the market and later dismay, and it had some of the very similar functionalities. Not only just this self balancing, but also has some fun games for all of us kids to play with, but what’s more exciting about this is this.
Robot is also hackable there going to be some ad on hats available sparkfun. So you can have your robot in this case, blow bubbles, perhaps shoot ping pongs anything that you might think that your robot needs to do in addition to dance and not run into walls. So if you’re looking to create your own self balancing robot to turn beaglebone black, as well as the motor control Cape, Bruce Josten design and have lots of fun. .
