Robotics

The term robotics brings many thoughts in mind. Its a very catchy word, maybe because we see lot of sci-fi movies and the word is related to it??Being a software engineer, i was always attracted to Artificial intelligence and Robotics and use to read a lot every now and then on the internet but everything was just theory. I use to wonder how those people who take part in robotics competitions, can create robots ??.

So i dived into the world of robotics and tumbled upon the exciting world of Lego mindstorm XT. Mindstorm XT is a robo kit from Lego which contains the robo brain called "Brick" two rotary motors, and 4 sensors viz. touch sensor, sound sensor, light sensor and ultrasonic sensor. The "brick" is completely programmable. We can write our own custom program, compile it and load the executable on the "brick" using a USB or Bluetooth and woooo the robot works as you want it... isn't that cool.
currently i am in the process of learning more about this kit and i am sure i am gonna buy it :)

so.. i will soon post a video of my own programmed robot.. stay tuned.
