Computer Vision needs full computational power to run real time algorithms for robotics application… now MyzharBot has got it: NVidia Jetson TK1 has arrived. The new brain is powered by a Tegra K1 SOC (4-Plus-1 quad-core ARM Cortex A15 CPU at 2.3 Ghz + Kepler GPU with 192 CUDA cores) the most…
Finally the sonar module PCB is ready to be sent to service to be CREATED. Me and Mauro Soligo have chosen a name for it: RoboDiscovery-F4. We also decided to dedicate a website also to this project: www.robodiscovery.com is coming. Features: 2 strips to fit STm32F4-Discovery board Zigbee ready 16x muxed…
With Mauro Soligo from katodo.com we are creating a support card for STM32F4-Discovery to handle up to 16 modules sonar (HC-SR04) for robotics applications. MyzharBot will use only 4 sonar sensors, but larger robots will be able to leverage the power of the new board. As usual the board is…
Just submitted the proposal for the partecipation of MyzharBot to Maker Faire 2014 in October in Rome. On July 6th we will know if the proposal will be accepted and if MyzharBot will be present with all the other robots presented by the team of Officine Robotiche 😀
Yesterday evening at 9 pm (Italian time) on the Web Radio “Radio Stonata” I was interviewed by Elisabetta Casarin about MyzharBot project and its campaing on TakeOff Crowdfunding for the radio program “Crowdfunding”.

Finally after a lot of waiting MyzharBot has got its own BeagleBone Black. The new “brain” will run the “Speech Module” based on Sphinx Toolkit by Carnegie Mellon University and in future will be the “main node” for ROS platform. A lot of news are ready to come… stay tuned with MyzharBot
After the eyes, MyzharBot is going to get ears. The quad sonar module based on ARM STm32F4 mcu and HC-SR04 is almost ready. The first test using a single sensor connected to STm32F4Discovery board was a success… The quad sonar module will be used as obstacle sensor and to create…
The past Saturday, 12 and Sunday, 13 April in Rome there was the first edition of “Officine Robotiche”, a robotics event organized by a small group of people who love robots and do not work in robotics (with some exceptions). I was present at the event with MyzharBot and a…
Only two words: MYZHARBOT WORKS finally the Pandaboard ES has a stable Ubuntu 12.04 operating system, with OpenCV 2.4.8 and Qt 5.2.1 fully working … at the moment I compiled both Qt and OpenCV onboard, I know it is a bit fool, but I wanted to see it to move…
Finally RoboControllerSDK has got Webcam Server and Webcam Client modules… using the Qt/OpenCV OpenGL widget, fully described on my personal blog, now RobotGUI is capable of showing the videostream coming from a webcam assembled on MyzharBot. The images are sent after a JPEG compression, as described in another page on…
