Ever wanted to learn how to program an Arduino but you just can't seem to find the project worth spending the time or money on in order to do so.
Ever wanted to own your own easily programmable,hackable,customizable robot but can't find one that fits your needs or price bracket .
Well oh boy do I have the project for you, for a little over 100$ and an access to a 3D printer you can buy yourself all the parts you need to build this bad boy:
BORIS the Bipedal Orientation and Radar Intelligent System.
So why did BORIS come to be?
As a former design engineering student I remember the days when all we had at University was an arduino with a bunch of wires and sensors pointlessly plugged in and flashing to learn programming. I designed BORIS as an educational Robot whose primary purpose is to teach anyone who has an interest in robotics and programming as a whole how to move a servo or get a light blinking or get a speaker buzzing all in a more interesting and neat little package
Why is BORIS the best?
He's fast!!! with a revolutionary new leg design BORIS is one of the fastest biped robots in his size and price category so gone are the days where you have to wait half an hour for your robot to travel a meter and film a robot walking at 10 times the speed to make it look good on video.
He's easy to assemble!!! With only the use of a screwdriver you can have your BORIS up and running
He's overflowing with add ons!!! This is not just a bipedal walking robot BORIS comes equipped full to the brim with extra features and add ons that all make the most of well documented open source software and off the shelf electronics hardware so as that even the newest of newbies can have a go at learning how to make the robot truly do what he wants it to do.
- Ultrasonic sensor for obstacle detection and avoidance
- 3 axis magnometer (digital compass) BORIS knows which way is up and what direction he is pointing
- OLED Display His mouth can move!!!
- Buzzer He can make sounds!!!
He's statically stable!!! Do not fear the programming of the walking sequence is dead simple there are no complex algorithms involved to get this Robot moving.
He's 100% 3D printable apart from the electronics and screws for the electronics BORIS is fully 3D printable this reduces his price and also makes spare parts easy to replicate with a 3D printer
All the parts have been test printed on the Creality Ender 3
