In the third trial, the robot is able to go near the ball. But the robot use the wrong leg to kick the ball. One possible reason, is that the robot think that the ball is at its left side. So i need to make further improvement, so that i can make the robot run the obstacles course trial.
The robot cannot find the ball.
Possible reason is the bad color tuning which lead to bad recognition of the ball.
Or the neck angle of the robot is wrongly set. So, it could not turn it neck to an angle which the robot could see the ball.
The robot attempt to kick the ball even thought the robot is a foot away from the robot. Resulting in the robot unable to kick the ball. We look into this problem and soon will post the result of the next trial.
After transferring the program to the adult size humanoid, i assume that it will be same as the kid sizes robot with the same set of parameters(Distance,motion control). But this trial show me otherwise. So, i need to review the program, make some changes. I will upload the result of the changes i make. So, look forward to Adult Sizes Obstacles Course Trial(2).
The robot is able to detect and avoid the obstacles. So, i think that its time to test its out by making it doing a course of avoiding the obstacle and kicking the ball
Shi Guang has finish doing his walking gait controls, and now i can transfer my program into the adult size humanoid to do further testing.
Today is a busy day with the motor being faulty and the robot is unable to perform the gaits it used to. The faulty motor is located at the hip of the robot which is the most difficult part to remove the motor. It is very hard to remove the frame that is around the motor however there are wire beside the frame which make it more challenging to remove the motor without damaging the wire.
However, replacing the motor prove to be much more tougher than removing as the motor need to fixed tightly to the frame and the casing for the motor so as to ensure that the screw is able to screw in properly. So all in all it took us 1 whole day to replace the single faulty motor.

As shi guang is still tuning and doing his walking gaits control on the adult size, so i do write my report on my parts about the Obstacle Avoidance. At the same time, i go prepare the material needed for my CDIO presentation in the possible future.
