Electromagnetic coil motor 2

Electromagnetic coil motor 2

Here is another view of the coil motor. The plunger is a steel bar activated by an electromagnetic field which is controlled by an arduino. The coil itself is about 8.5 inches long.

This arduino controlled electromagnetic coil has a steel bar as a plunger and uses the pull of the coil to move the bar back and forth. The coil itself is about 8.5 inches long.

Robot grabbing an egg

Robot grabbing an egg

Here's the gripper with force sensing active. But this time I've increased the gripping surface and made it less rigid (the metal ends of the gripper were a bit harsh). So now I'm trying it with something more delicate: an egg!

The gripper now incorporates a sensor which is able to detect when it has grabbed something. Here I'm trying it with a variety of different objects. Much safer than the "apple crushing" version I posted a video of earlier.

Blue R/C robot

This is a test of my second robot. This one uses a sabertooth 2x25 controller, and for my first test I just hooked it up to a standard remote control. Next, I will try controlling it remotely via an arduino. This one is very fast though, I'll need a bigger space to try it out safely.
