E.R.I.C. Index Page
I was starting to build up quite a collection of notebook pages for this project so I decided to put them all in an index which chronologically tracks the progress on the project.
Dec '10
- AX-12+ Testing - First looks at the AX-12+ servos that will power the joints for the robot.
Jan '11
- 2D Inverse Kinematics - A look at how inverse kinematics can be used to control the foot position of a leg with 2 D.O.F.
Feb '11
- 3D Inverse Kinematics - Explores a possible implementation to add a third D.O.F. to the legs.
June '11
- More 3D Inverse Kinematics - A walk through of the maths behind the theory for the control of E.R.I.C.'s legs.
July '11
- Forward Kinematics - A look at the implementation of the maths to allow the foot position to be calculated by reading the servo positions.
- Hind Leg Implementation Part 1 - How the theory was put into practice on E.R.I.C.'s hind legs.
Aug '11
- Hind Leg Implementation Part 2 - The 2nd part of this process
- Modified AX-12+ Library - A page detailing the modifications to the AX-12+ library to use hardware to convert the serial communications from full to half-duplex.
- Poses - A page detailing how several set body positions can be stored in E.R.I.C.'s memory and how they can be transitioned from one to another.
- Step algorithm - The algorithm that allows E.R.I.C. to take a step forward of a given length
- Turning - A look at how I might deal with turning and changing direction
Sept '11
- Front Legs - Adding the front legs to E.R.I.C.
Oct '11
- uCam Development - Using a camera module to give E.R.I.C. the gift of sight!
- Walking Gait Development - Page detailing the process of getting E.R.I.C. to walk on all four legs
Nov '11
- Saving Data - A look at how long it takes to save data to various locations. With a view to saving images that are too large to store in RAM
Dec '11
- Image Processing Set-up - Discussion on how to connect the mbed to different external components to capture and manipulate images.
Jan '12
- FeRAM - Investigation on how I can increase performance of the image processing side of things by using FeRAM to reduce the time it takes to read from and write to external memory

hello martin I'm currently working on image processing with mbed and i need to do the task similar like the Guarding part ERIC did. Your work and documentation are of great help, but you haven't explained about image processing and its code. It would be very kind of you to include that part also in your notebook.
