Description

In the code, you can see we have a long list of if else statements controlling the speed of each motor. This code works for our snake and our photocell sensor/motor combination. If you have changed the materials for your snake or find that these values don't work for you, when feel free to change the values until you find speed control that works for you. Our snake is meant to work in low light and at a pretty fast speed. If you want your snake slower, for example, you may want to widen your range of lrValues in the if else statements, so that it will take a high powered light directed at one sensor before the motors reach highest speed. Just string the other piece of string through. Leave about 10 inches of string on the inside, and a little more on the outside. This string acts solely as a tether. You can eventually lengthen it by attaching another string to it so that you can have a longer tether. Traditional SnakeBots move by changing the shape of their body, similar to actual snakes. Many variants have been created which use wheels or treads for movement. No SnakeBots have been developed yet that can completely mimic the locomotion of real snakes, but researchers have been able to produce new ways of moving that do not occur in nature. Run both buttons up through the vacuum reducer. Run the wire (containing power and ground) from the waterpump down through the hole in the vacuum reducer. So in total, the following wires should run through the vacuum reducer and the rubber pad : power and ground from both switches; one string; power and ground from pump.

Note: an arduino mega is necessary not because of the numbers of outputs but because the flash memory space in the arduino UNO is not large enough. Items that are not available in store will take 3-5 working days (excluding weekends and bank holidays) to be delivered to your nominated store. The team created the robot to mimic the snakes’ movements. They say that compared to robot snakes from other studies, their creation is more stable than all but one, and came close to matching a real snake’s speed.The SnakeBot, also known as a snake robot, is a biomorphic hyper-redundant robot that resembles a biological snake. Snake robots come in many shapes and sizes, from as long as four stories (earthquake SnakeBot developed by SINTEF [1]) to a medical SnakeBot developed at Carnegie Mellon University that is thin enough to maneuver around organs inside a human chest cavity. Though SnakeBots can very greatly in size and design, there are two qualities that all SnakeBot share. The small cross-section-to-length ratios allow them to move into and maneuver through tight spaces and their ability to change the shape of their bodies allows them to perform a wide range of behaviors, such as climbing stairs or tree trunks. Additionally, many snake robots are constructed by chaining together several independent links. This redundancy can make them resistant to failure because they can continue to operate even if parts of their body are destroyed. Properties such as high terrainability, redundancy, and the possibility of complete sealing of the body of the robot, make snake robots very interesting for practical applications and hence as a research topic. [2] [3] A SnakeBot is different from a snake-arm robot in that the SnakeBot robot types are usually more self-contained, where a snake-arm robot usually has remote mechanicals from the arm itself, possibly connected to a larger system. The ambient light sensor will need to be placed near the center or end of the snake, at least far enough away that it will not sense any light aimed towards the head. Snakebots are used in situations where their characteristics give them an advantage over their environment. These environments tend to be long and thin like pipes or highly cluttered like rubble. Thus, Snakebots are currently being developed to assist search and rescue teams. When a task requires several different obstacles to be overcome, the locomotive flexibility of SnakeBots potentially offers an advantage. [4] You should get an integer returned, corresponding to the baud rate xbee is set at. To make sure it is set to 57600, type "ATBD 6" then ENTER.

When setting up multiple sensors, just use the same circuit example as the first one. Each sensor must have its own line to power and ground and cannot be a part of the same circuit; this will make finishing the snake easier in future steps. Also, make sure your resistors are the same, since this affects the analog readings, we need all the sensors to be reading similar values. This project was built for the Things that Think undergraduate/graduate class CSCI 4830-7 and CSCI 7000-7 for the University of Colorado at Boulder. Our group consisted of one graduate and two undergraduate students. We worked on the project for 8 weeks, most of the time trying to learn how to program the arduino and learning the basics of circuits. If you are looking to build this project, we do not anticipate this project taking nearly as long, but altogether could be completed in one weekend. We found it was easiest to plan the speed controls out in a table before writing the if else statements. This was our table:The vibration motor is added to simulate the a rattling tail on a snake. We were given our vibration motor from class, so we do not have a model number, but just like the other steps of this project, use the size motor that best fits the snake that you are building. We wanted the smallest motor possible, so that it would be able to fit on the small tail piece we were building. Our snake will contain three groups of LEDs, each with 6-7 lights on each strand. To create groups of LEDs, it is the same process as creating a single group with only one LED in it. In our snake we used Pin 5, Pin 6, and Pin 7 to control the different strands of the LEDs. Also to save space on our breadboard, we connected each LED group to the same resistor that then connected to ground.
