The design and implementation of the game using the microcontroller-controlled Lego NXT set

The design and implementation of the game using the microcontroller-controlled Lego NXT set was made by computer science graduate Adam Huńka. The design was made as part of an thesis.

The Hexor II robot that we have at the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science is a fully mobile robot, equipped with 6 legs and a gel battery. All technological solutions used in it are currently used in industrial technological processes. Inside is a dedicated motherboard with a processor. All senses (sensors) are connected to it, through it we receive / handle events related to them. The head placed on the top of the tail has 2 degrees of freedom, it moves vertically and horizontally with a limit of ~ 90°. Which allows the robot to look around without having to rotate the entire body.

Sensors:

Sonar (ultrasonic distance sensor): the transmitter and receiver are placed at the end of the tail above the camera, this system returns the approximate distance from the nearest object, of course the sound-absorbing surfaces are invisible to it.

Whiskers (touch sensors): placed on the front of the robot sends an impulse when “touched”, and thus physical contact with the obstacle, unlike sonar works on any surface.

Infrared (proximity) sensors: 1 on the front, up to 4 on the back (due to the lack of touch sensors in parts reviews). With this set you can control the robot using the TV remote control.

The motherboard has a communication module, a serial radio link with a transmission speed of up to 78 kbps, using it we can communicate with the robot wirelessly by issuing commands from the computer.
An analog camera is placed on the tail head. It is independent of the rest of the components and has its own antenna (2.4GHz), the image from it can also be viewed on a computer monitor screen.
