The V-3 is a twolegged (bi-pedestal) walking robot with 12 active
degrees
of freedom, developed to get far as possible to the movability of the
human legs. The robot is controlled by a VB-program that runs on a PC
(also handheld-PC possible) via the serial interface. On the robot there
are accelerometers used to messure the orientation of the hip to the
earth's surface. This values will be used to improve walking algorithm
(learning) and reactions on uneven terrains. The 12 servos and the
accelerometers are controlled by a AT90S8535 programmed in
AVR-Assembler.
For now the robot and the movements have to be tested => autonomous
walking when development finished (distant future). The robot is powered
by an external source. costs up to now are about 400 Euros.
