Jatson Nano 

---

Introduction

With the electronics and software framework at a good point, next step for robotic development is to experiment with some AI. Three options were considered:

• Raspberry Pi 3B+ 
• Raspberry Pi 3B+ with Intel Movidius
• Jatson Nano 2GB

Nvidia produced an OS image to integrate their CUDA cores, the Jatson Nano board and ROS into an AI robot. The choice was made to obtain a Jetson Nano 2GB

The scope of this post is to power up the Jetson Nano and test the basic configuration procedure, compatibility with the camera module and the TPS55386 voltage regulators developed for my robots.

2020-05-21 - Unit Zero - LEGO Servo Quadruped

Introduction 

LEGO Technic allows to build mechanical structures, With LEGO I'm limited by the actuators.

Servo motors are easy to drive and interface with custom electronics.

 

The scope of the Unit Zero project is to build a quadruped robot using LEGO Technic for the mechanical construction and using Servo motors and custom electronics to power the robot.
