| 説明 | I’m experimenting with a new idea I call ‘Wonderbots’, to see if I can bring characters to life by making art objects and puppets move, with the help of robots.My first prototype for this experiment is Indigo, the Wonder Duck. For this test, I mounted a decoy duck decorated by Dr. Canard over a simple Arduino robot I built last night at Marin MakerSpace. This first test is encouraging: Indigo is rolling happily across our floor as if gliding on water -- until he senses an approaching obstacle, which causes him to turn back and change direction. It seems to have a mind of his own, poking his head in all sorts of unexpected places -- and getting stuck often against obstacles outside his sonar range. He doesn’t do so well on cobblestone, but it was fun to try.The restless robot I am using comes up with new moves that keep surprising me. And it's even more fun when you put a couple of these robots together in the same space, as they keep coming together, then avoiding each other. Here's a short video showing the robots in action: www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_WcmRzdvPgIn the next few days, I would like to build a few more Wonderbots and see how they behave when when they are brought together in the same space. Then we'll add a storyline, a backdrop, more lights and sounds, with impromptu dialog and music. I can’t wait to see them interact with each other. Stay tuned … To track my progress with this experiment, see my Wonderbots album on Flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/fabola/albums/72157660350909609And for more photos of the restless robots we built at Marin MakerSpace, see this photo album: www.flickr.com/photos/fabola/albums/72157660319241568 |
