WEBVTT -- English 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.198 Hi KickStarter! Today we would like to introduce to you the Seek N’ Sneak 00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:06.200 an Arduino powered self-controlled robot 00:00:06.333 --> 00:00:12.273 which is able to run around, find objects, grab them, relocate them and do many other useful, funny and, brave things. 00:00:12.814 --> 00:00:22.929 The two driving wheels of this robot are powered by independently controlled DC motors allowing for precise control of the angular position of the wheel as well as its velocity and acceleration. 00:00:23.527 --> 00:00:29.728 The arm is run by 3 super-strong servo-motors, so it is fast and powerful enough to push up about 3 pounds, or even lift the robot itself… 00:00:30.597 --> 00:00:32.597 …or throw objects. 00:00:34.005 --> 00:00:40.789 The robot is also equipped with three infra-red proximity meters that prevent it from colliding with obstacles and avoiding conflicts with other robots. 00:00:40.895 --> 00:00:44.048 Also It assist in finding objects on the ground. 00:00:46.740 --> 00:00:52.079 You can also equip your robot with extra shield and sensors as the robot’s body has enough space for it. 00:00:52.475 --> 00:00:56.679 But The most impressive thing is that the robot runs as a fully independent unit… 00:00:57.146 --> 00:00:59.146 …thus, it can find and collect objects on the ground,... 00:00:59.148 --> 00:01:01.148 ...it can chase and attack other robots … 00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:06.590 …you can make it organize your living space, placing things back in place whenever they are found where they should not be. 00:01:07.739 --> 00:01:10.299 In other words, you are only limited by your imagination. 00:01:10.525 --> 00:01:16.588 The robot software is completely open sourced, so you can either use the original software which has already been developed for you 00:01:16.590 --> 00:01:19.540 or you can modify it as you please to meet your demands. 00:01:20.275 --> 00:01:27.959 You can then use commands like LOOK FOR AN OBJECT, GRAB or THROW instead of writing low-level code to control the sensors, motors and servos directly 00:01:28.614 --> 00:01:34.269 or develop your own way of thinking for the robot from scratch using the Arduino integrated development environment. 00:01:34.405 --> 00:01:41.188 No matter if you are an experienced programmer, a robotics fan, or a school teacher who wants to make his pupils get interested with robotics 00:01:43.234 --> 00:01:47.299 the Seek N’ Sneak is a great way to learn about mechanics, electronics and programming… all in one! 00:01:47.944 --> 00:01:52.269 The robot is provided as a kit containing everything you need to complete the assembly of the robot including 00:01:52.454 --> 00:01:56.340 acrylic glass or aluminum laser-cut body parts along with 00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:59.679 DC motors with encoders, dual motor shield and wheels 00:01:59.688 --> 00:02:11.159 arm powering servos, infra-red proximity meters, an Arduino Mega 2560 control board, screws, nuts and spacers, flanged bearing wheels, wires, connectors, breadboard and other minor parts. 00:02:12.384 --> 00:02:16.719 You will be provided with a full step-by-step tutorial explaining how to assemble your robot. 00:02:16.729 --> 00:02:23.348 Moreover, you will get the intermediate programming sketches which will help you to properly connect and test all the electronic parts one by one. 00:02:23.715 --> 00:02:28.472 We want to share the design and our experience building the Seek N’ Sneak robot with developers all around the world. 00:02:29.118 --> 00:02:33.509 So after the KickStarter campaign, the Seek N’ Sneak robot in its entirety will be released to the public! 00:02:34.335 --> 00:02:38.509 The next version will be equipped with accelerometers for precise positioning of the robot. 00:02:38.518 --> 00:02:44.477 We will also add a CMOS-camera and BlueTooth or WiFi shields for interactive outboard optical object recognition. 00:02:44.585 --> 00:02:49.110 Or even replace the Arduino controller with a Raspberry Pi microcomputer. 00:02:49.217 --> 00:02:54.550 However, all of this can only be done with your support… and we count on your participation as a developer in the future! 00:02:54.775 --> 00:02:59.361 With your funding we can make the Seek N’ Sneak robot even better, more affordable and easily accessible to everyone.
