Is it possible to make an intelligence robot with R-Pi ?

premjithav@gmail.com over 13 years ago

Hello friends,

Do you have any idea about to make a robot with Pi. I want to build a simple robot with some basic intelligence. You have any reference pls share...

Thanks in advance..

Of course it's possible to do this, if you take a look at the RPi_serial board here - http://www.bitwizard.nl/wiki/index.php/Raspberry_pi_expansion_system_page#expansion_boards
This would give you access to control 5 serial ports which would give you control over at least 5 stepper motors.
You might have to write some software to interface with these but given enough time and effort there is no reason you shouldn't be able to use a RPi to control a robot or even use a GPS module and USB camera to build an intelligent guidance system for it too.

edit:
Sorry just spotted there already exists a servo control expansion board which will control 7 servos.

So depending on what protocol you wanted to use/devices you wanted to control - you have choice of 5 serial ports or 7 servo control interfaces.
