Web site of Mark Medonis, showcasing my long term project Maxwell, an android robot head and torso. There is a kit version of Maxwell available for sale, as well as the individual parts needed to build a robot head.
Maxwell the Robot - designed and built by Mark Medonis
Here is a video clip taken in July 2012, testing a face tracking program I put together using Processing and OpenCV:
Maxwell - Animatronic Robot Head. My long term project, and available as a kit so you too can build your own Android Robot
Mini SSC II - The motor control board used on Maxwell, which controls RC Servos from an RS232 serial port of a PC or microcontroller
Battery Booster 12 - 9V battery eliminator
for Mini SSC II servo controller above
Battery Booster 5 - 9V battery eliminator
for BASIC Stamp or any 5V powered circuit. I designed this to help simplify the power setup on Maxwell. It allows the servos and microcontroller to use the same 4.8V rechargeable battery pack.
