Bob Comer

I am in the Computer Studies Department at Austin Community College. I usually teach C++ Programming and Data Structures classes, but I also teach a Robotic Fundamentals class in the Electronics Department.

Recently I have been working on a surveillance robot with remote telepresence. The robot is constructed using a PVC frame and drive components (motor, gearbos, and wheels) scavenged from old kids electric ride-on toys. The robot is equiped with:

Imagine Tools Ethernet Starter Kit (Rabbit 3000 microprocessor) with web server
Linksys wireless router
Airlink ethernet camera

The robot is programmed in Dynamic C and has a web page as an interface. You can drive the robot from any computer with wireless networking and a web browser.

Sample robots:
