Building a hexapod robot
Categories: 2009 Summer REU, 155 words8688 feedbacks •I am back at Carnegie Mellon University for the 2009 summer. This summer I have taken away from the design aspects and now I am onto the programming part now. This summer I have to created a program to demo for IJCAI in California. I have chosen to get the robot dance to give it a personally at the conference.The type of dance I am trying to get it to do is called the “Stanky Leg".The main problem that I have been running into while trying to get the chiara to do the dance is the limits of the robot its self. To solve this problem with the limits of the chiara was to create a more simple Behavior to have it do, while look good plus to keep the robot from killing its self. So I am back for the second year in a row to work on the Chiara for the summer.

This was my first AAAI confernce and I learn a lot from being around other PH.D student and even some undergrads. This confernce to me seem like it was center on creativly in the robotics community. Also had a little networking while I was there with other professor that can help me get into a great grad school.I am hoping to attend it next year and have another robot to work on.

Now we have came the end of this intern cover to show the finish Chiara Cayenne robot
I was also given the Chiara robot project named Aurora. This is the same robot in the Chiara class but with one modification to the legs as showed
This robot was going to be build by me then both will the presented AAAI conference in Chicago starting July 13th to July 18th. It has been a great experience here at CMU build this robotPermalink
