Abstract::

The field of ROBOTICS has been a
fascination since the advent of
computational technologies. To induce life
into the robos, complex and powerful
electronic components are required. Hence
advance knowledge and great funds are
required to build even small robots. These
create hurdles to the beginners in this field.
These hurdles can be overcome by
adopting a new philosophy called BEAM
ROBOTICS formulated by Mark. W.
Tilden. Here minimal electronics are used
and using solar power, miniature creatures
are created first from which new
prototypes can be evolved. Unlike
conventional robos, which use costly
microprocessor controlled architecture,
these have interconnection of elementary
circuits called NERVOUS NETWORKS.
Here a reconfigurable central network
oscillator is utilized for autonomous and
independent operation of components.
Further it favors development of legged
robos. The nervous technology provides
(1) pulse delay circuits (neurons),
interconnected in closed loops, which
generate square waves and (2) pulse
neutralization circuits. The central
sequencing network and limb circuits
control the direction of the motor thereby
the motion of their legs. The advantage is
that the use of microprocessors and costly
components is eliminated and the
processes are localized and self-sustaining.
Thus beginners and students can
implement the innovative ideas without
having high knowledge, skill and fund.
We are very happy to place this paper
before the academic fraternity. Now it will
be our pleasure to receive the reader’s
feedback. We feel such a feedback is vital
to improving the knowledge of an efficient
engineer, thereby achieving its purpose.
