- 3 DOF Lego Minstorm Arm (Touch Sensor Controlled)
This is a demostration of a 3 degrees-of-freedom robotic arm constructed using a Lego's Mindstorms NXT kit. It is based off a tutorial by Dr. Paul Oh, but has the additional functionality of being non-planar - its base can rotate 180 degrees. The video demonstrates a control system utilizing two touch sensors, also from the NXT kit. By keeping one of the sensors pressed, one of the planar motors becomes engaged and can then be controlled by pressing the other touch sensor. Which motor becomes engaged is dependant upon which sensor is held down first. Motion of the motors can be reversed by quickly tapping its corresponding engagement sensor. Rotation of the base is controlled by holding down both sensors. Tapping both sensors together reverses the direction of rotation.
- 3 DOF Lego Minstorm Arm (LabVIEW Controlled)
This video demonstrates an NXT robotic arm (see above) being controlled remotely by a LabVIEW GUI via Bluetooth.
- Microsoft Robotics Studio: Real World vs. Simulation
This comparison video shows a program written for a Lego NXT Tribot under the Microsoft Robotics Studio being executed in both the real world and MRS's simulator.
- LabVIEW: Joystick Controlled Lego NXT Robots
This video demostrates two Lego NXT robots being controlled simultaneously using LabVIEW and two seperate joysticks, in this case, the ones found on two Logitech gamepads.
