Metal Detecting Robot

Mon, Aug 17, 2009

Looks like Gareth from Switzerland has completed his next metal finding robot. I am very impressed at the accuracy of the robots ability to find coins. Looks like this robot has a good shot of paying for its creation in no time. You may remember the last version that we featured.

"TB-007 has been fitted with a Wireless Camera so i can sit in my deck chair and watch its progress should it wander off. The Camera is mounted to a servo which also has a Laser pointer attached (see main picture) During “Fine Detect” phase of software loop, the servo positions itsself to look and pinpoint with laser and Video the exact location of Metal Found."
