PHOBOS MY FRIEND

PHOBOS

PHOBOS , is a fully robot for Education purpose , we have developped sciences games in his 4D Systems microLCD GOLDELOX & PICASO
Intelligent Graphic Display Modules , we have use Two Arduino who communicates as "Master and Slave " for his intelligence (actions movements , obstacle avoidance , bound ground , and inter-activity with humans " , We have also used one CubieBoard A20 running on Cubian OS ; as his Server (WiFI remoted with Android Devices with pictures diffusions , Voice Speech recognition using SARAH or YANA ) .
With PHOBOS , people can play , by learning .

To start using PHOBOS , just enter in Menu on his touch screen , and Select what you want to do :

_Autonomous Mode :

In this mode , the robot will be fully autonomous to take his own decisions , and to inter-act with his environnement .

_Inter-active Mode :

In this Mode , you can play direcly a Science game on his touch screen and see how the robot will react if you find the right answers or not .

_Command Mode :

In this Mode , you can controll PHOBOS , using your SmartPhone , through WIFI or internet , you can also talk to him with his speech recognition system application integrated .

PHOBOS CONCEPTION

Hardware :

_2 Arduino UNO , communicating with I2C protocole .
_ARM processor ; we chose Cubieboard for processor reasons , Raspberry Pi can also be used
_4D Systems microLCD GOLDELOX & PICASO(32PTU) Intelligent Graphic Display Modules
_Ultrasons sensors
_Wireless IP Camera include
_8 Servos Motors
_4 Continues current Motors
_Solar Pannel 30 v 150 mAh
_Battery ion Lithium Polymer ( 10 V )

Software :

_GNU/ LINUX distribution ( Cubian OS , running in our Cubieboard embedded ) .
_ Yana Android ( for speech recognition) .
_Android application ; to Remoted Control our Rover through WIFI or Internet .

It was very difficult for us to developp PHOBOS , because of lake of robotic materials in our country( Wheels , Hardwares , servos Motors , CC Motors , arduino , Cubie etc...) /

The main Parts of PHOBOS is build from recovery parts (old Toys , radio , Cardboard etc... )

we hope to improve our Rover by giving him at least 6 wheel as a normal Rover .
