Now , there's another thing you need to know. As complicated and beautiful an insect movement is. You need to break it down to what you can accomplish with your actuators. There are, the ones that offer circular movement, the ones that offer oscillatory movements (pendulums , motors with a mechanical arrangement) , the ones that move in one line and, etc 2012-02-14 20:51:40
Before you build up a control for a legged robot you need to learn from the masters which are... the insects. Find videos of insects or actual insects and check their walking. Nothing is random on their walking. Everything is synchronized like an orchestra. Try to find the patterns. Patterns are the key for the algorithm you are going to program. Remember, before writing the first line of code, building the first prototype, wiring the first circuit you need to understand the movement you are trying to emulate to perfection 2012-02-08 19:54:52
Vict, I think ChristianM62 refers to actual medical and clinical ethics. Regarding your question... yes it is happening. You should read this article: http://bit.ly/ACSJmw 2012-02-02 17:16:30
nop, it doesn't =) haha i mean unless u hold them against your skin then the flame will burn you, but if u accidently hit urself with them then no... hmmmm well when i was beginning i used to practice about 2-3 hours a day and it took me about 5 or 6 months to amount to something decent hahaha... but once u get the basic moves... then it become easier =) btw, practicing with friends is way more fun 2012-02-01 11:55:26
two really helpful tips are:
-keep your circles as straight as possible.
-don't keep your wrists stiff!!!
