I've been working on making something similar for pursuing mice in my house: a ton of cheap two-wheel robots that home in on anything warm and annoy/scare mice enough that they find somewhere else to live.
Oh, DIY. Two tiny pager motors to drive the wheels, ATTiny85 brains, a single PIR sensor. The battery's the biggest part. Ideally I'd like to use an esp32 for brains so I could talk to them all with a control application, but I haven't gotten my hands on any. I'd love to know what the tiny robots in the picture use for a power source.

ReplyDeleteReally? Which robots are you using? Interesting application!

I'd love to see a picture of your robots! :)
ReplyDeleteThe article links to the paper which gives more details and has references, maybe you could find your answer there.
I'll go read the paper: thanks!
