February 17, 2007 - WiMo Robot
and Microsoft Robotics Studio
Brian Cross introduced us to WiMo (pronounced "Weemo"), a Windows Mobile Robot.
The name comes from the "Wi" from "Windows" and "Mo" from "Mobile."
He explained its origin and evolution as Windows Mobile Robot he developed with no
prior robot-building experience. The entire system consisted of a
Windows laptop with Bluetooth (for code development in MSRS),
Windows-Mobile-capable cell phone with Bluetooth (to receive and execute
the code), and an OOPIC with a Bluetooth module on the robot to execute
the control functions.
The laptop sent code developed and compiled in Microsoft Robotics Studio (MSRS)
to the cell phone for storage and execution. The robot is actually just
the cell phone and OOPIC coupled wirelessly via Bluetooth. He explained
the basic physical configuration of each component and how they are
connected and talked about some things he hopes to do with WiMo in the
future.
His demonstrations included: driving the robot from the laptop keyboard,
making the robot speak text typed into the laptop, verbally commanding
the robot to "dance," showing the wireless connectivity by physically
separating the laptop, cell phone, and robot while still operating it,
retrieving real-time images from the cell phone's camera to the laptop
screen, and -- in less than 5 minutes -- creating and executing code to
control the robot with a proportional USB joystick plugged into the laptop.

April 15, 2006
Karl
Böhringer, Associate Professor in UW's Microelectromechanical Systems
(MEMS) department, presented "Micro Manipulation and Micro Robots:
Algorithms, Devices, and Applications."
Abstract
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are tiny machines built with
techniques derived from the microelectronics industry. Very large
numbers of MEMS can be conveniently fabricated in parallel. However,
the control and assembly of such massively parallel microsystems gives
rise to numerous challenges in modeling, algorithms, as well as in
physical implementation.
In this presentation, we explore parallel micro manipulation and micro
assembly by investigating a cilia-like micro conveyor, a precision
docking system for future "pico-satellites", a walking microchip, and
selfassembling micro devices.
