So there is now a lot of background oise growing on 3d printers and
robotics. Linux has been involved witht he robotic revolution for quite
a while and now seems to be a breakout period. A lot of focus on Linux
based robotics is worth exploring at the moment

Rex - a single-board computer with a full OS that is designed for robots
By crunchex
January 5, 2014
crunchex's picture
Howdy! I just launched a Kickstarter campaign for my project, Rex. It's
a single-board computer like the Raspberry Pi that I designed
specifically for robots, so it has a more relevant form-factor and is a
bit more powerful spec-wise. I'm also working on a custom linux
distribution, called Alphalem OS, also designed specifically for robots.
The goal is to make doing things in advanced robotics like object
recognition, voice recognition, and speech synthesis simpler
(Arduino-style).
Take a look if you're interested! Feedback and questions totally
welcome.

An Arduino that runs Windows or Linux, or almost any other OS

The Arduino has done wonders to bring embedded systems in reach of
people who otherwise wouldn't have access to them. It is a very
powerful system, but it has drawbacks and limitations. The program and
data sizes are limited, as is the execution speed. They are often
plenty for many projects, but sometimes more is needed. For larger
projects more space is needed. Or maybe it needs to be faster. Also,
you only have one program and to have the processor do more than one
thing (multitask) requires some tricky programming.

Trying to get Torobot USB servo controller to work with BeagleBoard
By ChronoFish
December 8, 2013
Hello,
I have a Torobot (24 I think) USB servo controller which takes text
commands and converts them to servo controlls.
I am using a Beagleboard XM (not the Bone) with an Angstrom distribution
on it. I am having a hard time accessing the board programmatically and
have tried several approaches. The board itself is fine, I'm just
trying to send it commands. The Python API seemed to be the most
straight forward, but, of course, there are a lot of depencies I'm
fighting with.

got this error message:
This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU:

then I removed the VIA board and put a pentium board in it's place, the
only thing that changed about the error message was it did not have the

Once you get the LED blinking don't forget to kill the process with a

I came across some posts on a different discussion board about a nice
Wireless internet radio clock called Chumby One. I have found out that
it has linux inside and is easily hackable to be used as a robot brain.
There are already sample bots out there, I have just started to look
into it and thought it might be interesting for some of you. I have
almost no knowledge of how linux stuff goes and I don't think I can do
much with Chumby at the moment, so I will be interested if some of you
guys manage to make it your robot's brain. Perhaps using Python? or
Processing?

These images were created by stepping a pair of servo motors to create a

I took 3 readings for each position from each servo and stored them in a

Bluetooth, java, Linux - seem to be working together in harmony now.
Some things I learned along the way regarding the RXTX java library and
Linux com ports in general:
By default, only the root user has access to read/write the serial ports
on the system. So if I take the sample code from RXTX I've attached
called FindPorts.java and run it from the command line with my user
account it will not list any ports. This code was lifted straight from
the RXTX site. I've packaged it in a jar file for ease of use from the

Two of the four robots inducted into the Robot Hall of Fame on Oct. 23
ran embedded Linux. Aldebaran Robotics' humanoid, partially open source
Nao robot, known for its use in RoboCup robot soccer competitions, won
in the Education & Consumer category. And iRobot's PackBot remote
sensing robot, which runs proprietary Linux, took the Industrial &
Service award.
lifestyle-Linux-robot
Parrot's AR.Drone 2.0 quadricopter runs Linux on an ARM Cortex-A8 chip.
Linux is not yet a major force in the multi-million dollar industrial
robot market, where proprietary real-time operating systems (RTOSes) are
the norm. But for more than a decade it has enjoyed a growing presence
in service, research and consumer robots. These have ranged from
hobbyist and educational humanoid robots, to NASA rovers, to unmanned
automated vehicles (UAVs).
Typically, a Linux computer is added when a robot requires higher level
functions. Linux often orchestrates audio/visual synthesis, WiFi
communications, and in some cases sensor inputs, while a secondary
microcontroller computer often handles motor controls.
Linux is increasingly used in conjunction with open source robotic
middleware OSes, especially Willow Garage's up-and-coming Robot
Operating System (ROS), which can also be controlled by desktop Linux
software. The Linux/ROS combo appears to be a rising force in robotics,
including many industrial applications.
The following slideshow covers 10 notable Linux robots of recent, or
recently updated, vintage. Yet, there are scores of other interesting
Linux robots out there in various stages of maturity, ranging from
telepresence robots to open source hobbyist projects. Open board
projects like BeagleBoard.org, and more recently the Raspberry Pi have
spun off numerous Linux-based robots, including the BeagleBone-based
OpenROV underwater robot.
Recently, we've seen a number of robots that use Android or iOS as the
higher-level computer, often simply by attaching a phone or tablet that
runs a robot-controlling app. Meanwhile, the Android Open Accessory
Project technology has inspired some Android robots that incorporate
Arduino microcontrollers.
