What it can do

Written by Robotheca from the project's documents.

  • The Electric Sheep humanoid robot platform, as presented at the 2019 RoboCup competition in Sydney, Australia.
  • Vision processing is noted in the readme as something to be added at a later date, so it is not yet available.
  • The documents do not describe specific movements or tasks the robot performs beyond being a humanoid platform.

Works with AI

Found by Robotheca in the project's files at commit e908203, its robot.yaml and Robotheca's notes on its documents. Never guessed; Robotheca doesn't run the code.

Notes written by Robotheca from the project's documents.

Main parts

  • A circuit design and bill of materials are referenced in the readme, with a KiCad power selector board and Gerber files in the repository.
  • Hardware design uses OpenSCAD models for 3D-printed parts, with motors mentioned as having inaccuracies that a second version will reduce.
  • The documents do not name specific controller boards, motors, sensors, batteries or power supplies.

Connections

  • The documents do not describe how the electronic parts are connected to each other.
