Robot prototype, designed, constructed and programmed and built by Martin Troeger as a diploma-theme. CYCLON appeared at the WDR-Computernacht (German TV-Computershow, 6 hours, without any commercials in between; 5th december 23:30 to 6th december 5:30 1998 ) some technical details: Processor: Motorola 68xxxx Motors: 12 Servo Motors Camera: Connectix Quick Cam Sensors: 2 infra-red materials: complete aluminium weight: 2 kg construction/programming time: about four months CYCLON is fully autonomous (unplugged) and orientates with his sensors and camera. One eye-catching application at the moment is the detection of balloons, wich he kills with harpunes (lets say needles...) ;-) Email: martin.f.troeger@ruhr-uni-bochum.de OR christiane.kubla@fh-bochum.de
