about the artist
Team Robotics is part of Quadrant BBS Systems Based in Staffordshire. This page has been setup for the developement and design of Electronics,Robotics, and computer control software for robotics, with over 21 years experience in computers. and over 10 years experience in electrical repair and design, We have decided to build a robot to put all the skills learned over the years into practice, We are currently building a full size replica of the Johnny Five Robot from the Short Circuit films of the 1980's we are really excited about the project, and have collected all the servos and linear actuators needed to make the robot function. all parts used are original parts which have been located surplus or made to order for the project, The only big changes that have been changed are the track drive motors and there control system, I have also made some design changes for quick release of the track units from the base, For cargo box storage the robot will strip down into, Arms, Head, Upper Torso,Track Units, and Base with the Lower Torso folded down. With a programing background in Assembly Language and Visual C and experience in electronics, We plan to have the robot fully computer controled, we are currently capable of controling r/c servos and linear actuators, Via Serial or Usb interface, Having just received several Bluetooth modules from National Semiconductors. We are planning to experiment with Bluetooth interfacing. The electronics side of things is currently at a cross roads of which way to progress serial square bus or servos all usb interfaced independantly identifiable as plug and play on the system, A similar system can be used with either method.

I believe the future is limited only by the imagination Robots will one day be part of society...." To find out more about what is currently going on at TeamRobotics why not visit the LATEST PROJECT UPDATES page
