Oids are for everyone. Fun for all ages right out of the box.
Remote Control with your smart phone.
Easily Program Oids with the phone, no code, no skills required!
USB Re-Chargable
Oids are awesome for Developers.
Open Source. Hardware, firmware, mobile app. All open and ready to hack.
Update firmware and fpga over Bluetooth. Swarm development without wires!
Connectivity and intelligence modules for mobile and cloud. Endless possibilities.
The Concept: What is Oids?
Cute little robots with social lives of their own.
Mobile Apps connect to Oids with Bluetooth 4.0. Oids use mobile link to communicate over the internet.
Each Oid has their own web page at droidles.com, just like people have pages at facebook!
Make your own personality programs or try programs from other owners, all from your phone or tablet!
Remote Control with your phone, program with your phone, or just let your Oids play and see what they do!
The Robot: What's in a Oids?
Computer: Nordic nRF51822 Bluetooth Smart multi-protocol System-on-Chip, built around ARM® Cortex™ M0.
Motion Processor: 3-axis Accellerometer, 3-axis Gyroscope, 3-axis Magnetometer
Motors and Wheels: Two powerful DC motors and driver circuits.
Audio: Speaker and amplifier. Plus music engine: Oids now how to sing melodies and harmonize with each other.
Range finder: Two offset emitter infrared range finder gives accurate distance measurement between 1 inch and 6 feet.
Expandable: Attach accessories like actuators, claws, more motors, anything you want.
The Team:
To pull off an idea as big as Oids, we need a team of highly experienced individuals that know product design for volume production through and through. Please look thoroughly at the Oids Team Members:
Jay Hurley
Project Manager / Lead Developer
I've worked as an engineer for small and medium sized companies for 15 years doing embedded systems, back-end systems, user interfaces, and manufacturing systems. To date Oids is 100% self funded. But now it's time to open up to support from the rest of us, so I'm trying to make it fun for everyone and open source. Thank you!
Tom Poliquin
Computational Intelligence Instructor at University of California Santa Cruz Extension
Tom Poliquin has been at the forefront of electronics and software development for over 30 years and in addition to leading the electrical design of Oids, Tom is building course material for a new robotics and swarm intelligence course around the Oids platform.
