Robotics Tutorials

1. Robot Arm Tutorials. 
  A. Robot Arm Description
This is a short demo that describes the robot arm project and shows it running on the Jetson TK1 microcomputer board.
  B. Robot Arm Smulation Setup
Demonstrates how to setup the initial robot arm simulation so you can use the robotics framework to control it.
  C. Robot Arm Control Part 1
Part 1 of a tutorial that shows how to configure your robot arm simulation to control the real robot using the Firmata protocol running on an Arbotix Arduino microcontroller board.
  D. Robot Arm Control Part 2
Part 2 of a tutorial that shows how to configure your robot arm simulation to control the real robot using the Firmata protocol running on an Arbotix Arduino microcontroller board.
  E. Robot Arm Position and Velocity Control
This builds on the Robot Control tutorials and shows you how to swap in a different IO controller, the Usb2Dynamixel, and how to use both position and velocity control for the servos of your robot. This gives you more accurate movements.
  F. Robot Arm Joystick Control
This builds on the Robot Control tutorials and shows you how to use the XBee Commander joystick to dynamically control the movement of your robot arm in both the simulation and on the real hardware.
2. PhantomX Hexapod Robot Videos
  A. PhantomX Hexapod Preview
This video is to preview the PhantomX hexapod robot that I plan to use for test of the AnimatLab robotics framework. I plan to control this robot using a CUDA enhanced neural network running on an NVIDIA Jetson TK1 embedded microcomputer board. The behavior in this tutorial is using the standard Bioloid controller running on the Arbotix that comes with the hexapod kit.
