Virtual PresenceGoal of this project is to develop a sort of "virtual presence" robot. Remote controlled
via an interned-connected PC, a user should be able to drive it around the house (and watch the cat). The first version contains only the camera and pan-tilt head.
This next version contains the video-transmitter as well, along with a new camera-housing and an extra stage for mounting the
RTAVR board and battery-pack. Although the transmitter normally requires a 12 Volt 500mA adaptor, it works fine
with a NiCd 9,6V pack.

Domestic RobotThis is one of the most recent robotplatforms I've build. It contains six wheels from the
RealRobots magazine-kit. Furthermore I've build a pan-tilt camera head in
'Lynxmotion style'. Ad this moment a security camera is added (build-in in a discarded mosquito-scarer).
This camera produces black-and-white images. A wireless (2,4Ghz) transmitter will be added later on. The platform will be controlled
using the RT-AVR-board. Control signals will be transmitted from a host-PC to the robot by the 433Mhz transmitter that comes with
the 2,4Ghz wireless-set. Below are links to more pictures and the pan-tilt head parts.
