robot 機器人

Stonehenge uses a CrustCrawler Smart Arm and a Parallax Propeller chip to display the current time. All the digits needed to display the time are located on cards positioned in a semi-circle around the left and right sides of the arm. The time itself is displayed in front of the arm. This gives the clock a "Stonehenge" like appearance. There are a total of 14 cards. Each card has two digits with one on each side. The software planner determines which card and which side is needed to display the time and then sends the necessary movement commands to the arm.

Most of the project was constructed from foam board purchased from the local office supply store. The cards are 1 ¾ by 4 inches. Embedded in the bottom of each card are two Neodymium magnets. The magnets snap to heads of 4-40 screws that are mounted in the base. The magnet/screw scheme compensates for any small amount of error that inevitably occurs when gripping and moving the cards around.

Below is a short video showing Stonehenge in action.

The video shows a time update from 12:09 to 12:10. It demonstrates all the basic movements needed to display the time. If you watch carefully you can see it execute the following movements.

Norris Labs 好一個時鐘機器人的概念.
挺屌的.~
不過...費用不便宜!!
台灣有間學校可以做到.
有興趣ㄉ朋友可以去問問~

如果我開一間大型購物中心.
我一定不會用噴水池~
我將改用這一款時鐘機器人來吸引觀眾~嘿嘿...心機重ㄅ!!
