22:30:00 <Glenn> 3* Glenn_at_work was again kicked by ChanOP ([ChanOP] ...and that felt even better!)
22:31:00 <TruLady> he's stuck to the computer I think
22:31:00 <Glenn> ...mmmmmm..
22:31:00 <TITuS> :P
22:31:00 <TITuS> man
22:31:00 <TITuS> im so screwde
22:31:00 <TITuS> gotta make a robot for my thesis project
22:31:00 <Glenn> heeheehee.... :))
22:31:00 <TruLady> sounds like fun....
22:32:00 <Glenn> Noth'n to it!
22:32:00 <TITuS> nothing to it?
22:32:00 <TITuS> have u built one?
22:32:00 <TruLady> get it to pick up only one coloured ball out of lots
22:32:00 <Glenn> Nope!
22:32:00 <TITuS> b4
22:32:00 * TruLady looks at Glenn
22:32:00 <TruLady> it is very easy tho TITuS
22:32:00 <Glenn> Yes... and have a completed confence paper on it!
22:33:00 * TruLady has this friend who sets this sort of task for his students
22:33:00 * Glenn wonders who...
22:33:00 <TruLady> and brings the task home...so he will beat the students..lol
22:34:00 * TruLady thinks TITuS is speechless
22:34:00 <Glenn> Had a class of 4th year stoodents this afternoon... they have to design various aspects of "Artificial Intelligence" components for use with robots...
22:35:00 <TruLady> that would count me out Glenn......lol
22:36:00 <Glenn> One group are really worried... they have to convince a robot that it is "here"... and needs to go "there"... then find its way back "here" again... without gettinng side-tracked or lost en-route...
22:36:00 <TITuS> :(
22:36:00 <TruLady> lol omg......
22:36:00 <Glenn> Don't worry Tru... the students need intelligence.. real or artificial.... and as much as they can find!!!!!!!
22:36:00 <TITuS> ur scary me again
22:37:00 <TruLady> so Glenn....you've designed yours not to get lost around the house...
22:37:00 <TITuS> glenn u dont happen to know the programmin architechture of its AI do u
22:37:00 <Glenn> Nope... still have it in the "doghouse"... have been able to crank up its speed though... I think it can get to around 8 - 10 km/h now! :)
22:38:00 <TITuS> and the control of its movement.. the maths involve in that
22:38:00 <TruLady> geezz thats too much for me....
22:38:00 <TruLady> ok bed time for me....
22:38:00 <Glenn> Use flow charts to design the algorithm... Stamp II processors are great for sensor scanning and motor control.
22:38:00 <TruLady> great catching up Glenn....
22:39:00 <Glenn> Tak care Tru... :)))
22:39:00 <TruLady> good luck TITuS with your Robot

22:40:00 <Glenn> ....16 channel input/output processor.... great for robotics.
22:40:00 * GoDi ([email protected]) has joined #hongkong
22:41:00 <Glenn> There's a souped up 2oMHz 32 channel version too... one of my stoodents in using one to control a six legged stair climbing robot.
22:42:00 <TITuS> did they make the robot?
22:42:00 <TITuS> PIC!
22:42:00 <TITuS> are they easy?
22:42:00 <Glenn> My 2nd, 3rd and 4th year classes have been christened the "Toys-R-Us" classes...
22:42:00 <TITuS> ive been hearing alot of stuff about them.. looks like ill be using that
22:42:00 <TITuS> wat do u mean
22:42:00 <Glenn> Yes... they make their own... I've got my own problems thank you very much!
22:43:00 * GoDi ([email protected]) has left #hongkong
22:43:00 <TITuS> whats the scale and the sizes of these robots glenn
22:43:00 <Glenn> In 2nd year, they have to assemble a kit form mobile robot and programme it to navigate though a mouse-maze... quicker than minne...
22:44:00 * KiLLeR^bOi is now known as John^gone
22:44:00 <TITuS> then?
22:44:00 <TITuS> now?

22:44:00 * BOG ([email protected]) has left #hongkong
22:44:00 <TITuS> hey u dont happen to know the cost of polariod ultrasonic sensors do u?
22:45:00 <TITuS> yeah thats how heavey mine would be glenn.. what size motor do use and rating and how much and where did u get it
22:45:00 <TITuS> hehehe
22:45:00 <TITuS> sorry 20 questions here...
22:45:00 <Glenn> Nope... you might want to consider the $25 ultrasonic sensor kit from Altronics...
22:46:00 <Glenn> Model aircraft servos modified so that they rotate the full 360 degrees and don't have the feedback potentiometer make great moters...
22:47:00 <TITuS> glenn can u be my mentor .. please please please.
22:47:00 <Glenn> Look up the Locomotion website....
22:47:00 <TITuS> yeah? show me the door..ill open it..
22:47:00 <TITuS> where?
22:47:00 <Glenn> hang on...
