Beaglebot: A Robot Based on the Beagle Board
     



Doug Emes forwarded
the winner announcement from Beagle Board's Software Design
Contest:Thanks to everyone who participated in this
first BeagleBoard Software
Design Contest.  There were really some great entries and some that
show great promise for future contests.  We (the judges for this
contest) have voted and have our winner and first runner up selected: BeagleBot. Runner-up:
USB Support
in U-boot.
BeagleBot was
created by Antti Seppänen
and includes a differential drive system that uses 2 12VDC
motors, sonar ranging sensors, video camera, and a joystick based manual
remote control. Both the video camera and sonar are mounted on movable
sensor platforms controlled by servos. The Linux ALSA sound system is
used to generate sound effects. All of BeagleBot's software has been
released as Free
Software licensed under the GNU GPL.
Congratulations to
both winners. Rumor has it another Beagle Board software contest may
come along soon so stay tuned. The Beagle Board is a powerful and
inexpensive little microcontroller that's ideal for robotics use. See
our earlier post on Beagle
Board for more info.
