Ever wanted to dive into programming an Arduino but found it hard to find a project worth investing time or money in? Ever wanted to own your own easily programmable, hackable, customizable robot but couldn't find one that fits your needs or budget? Well, I've got the perfect project for you - BORIS, the Bipedal Orientation and Radar Intelligent System. This cutting-edge robot can be built with parts costing just over $100 and access to a 3D printer. So, why was BORIS created? As a former design engineering student, I recall the days of using an Arduino with wires and sensors plugged in, trying to learn programming through trial and error. I designed BORIS as an educational robot that teaches anyone interested in robotics and programming how to move a servo or get a light blinking or speaker buzzing all in one neat package. What makes BORIS stand out? He's fast! With its revolutionary new leg design, BORIS is one of the quickest biped robots in his size and price category. Gone are the days of waiting for hours for your robot to travel just a meter - with BORIS, you can film your robot walking at 10 times the speed. He's easy to assemble! With just a screwdriver, you can have your BORIS up and running in no time. He's also overflowing with add-ons that make the most of well-documented open-source software and off-the-shelf electronics hardware, making it simple for even newbies to learn how to make the robot do what they want. Some of these amazing features include: * Ultrasonic sensor for obstacle detection and avoidance * 3-axis magnometer (digital compass) - BORIS knows which way is up and what direction he's pointing * OLED display - His mouth can move! * Buzzer - He can make sounds! * Static stability - Don't worry about programming the walking sequence; it's dead simple, with no complex algorithms involved. And the best part? He's 100% 3D printable, apart from the electronics and screws for the electronics. This reduces his price and makes spare parts easy to replicate with a 3D printer.
