Automatic Control System With Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi is a minicomputer. Because Raspi (Raspberry Pi) contains a processor and graphics chip, Program memory (RAM) and various interfaces and connectors for external devices.

Raspberry Pi board
Raspberry Pi
The essential to get started for MiniComputer Raspi:
  • SD card to save your operating system (Linux/Unix Based)
  • USB Mouse & Keyboard
  • TV or monitor (with HDMI, DVI, RCA, Composite or SCART input)
  • Video Cable (RCA Cable) to TV or Monitor Used

Remote Control Door Lock Using IPhone



The door is the main road to get into the house. What happens if our house is not locked or forget to lock it, must be easily accessible by others even by thieves. Take it easy, now many tools we can find to control and inform about the door of our house. This tool can be as remotely lock simply by controlling the device with your smartphone (iPhone) you.
This tool was developed and named "Lockitron". Lockitron we can control remotely to do lock and unlock our doors, but it also can inform you that our door is locked or not locked.
The advantages of Lockitron are:

Technology Automotive: Automatic Parking System


Automation technology now growing very rapidly, not only applied in industry only but is now beginning to be applied in the world of toys, educational and even in everyday life. As recently emerging automation technologies applied in the automotive world that is a vehicle that can park itself.
One product that already uses sensors to automatically park a commercial which is All New Ford Focus from Ford Motor, the car was launched in late 2012.

Some of the advanced features of the All New Ford Focus offered are:

Humanoid Robot: Darwin-OP


Darwin-OP is a miniature humanoid robot kits, these kits in the form of a platform that can be used to develop a humanoid robot NAO addition, Bioloid, and so on. Darwin-OP (Dynamic Anthropomorphic Robot with Intelligence-Open Platform) is an affordable, miniature-humanoid-robot platform with advanced computational power, sophisticated sensors, high payload capacity, and dynamic motion ability to enable many exciting research and education activities. 
In the Darwin-OP platform have included sensors, actuators and processors are very sophisticated, so that developers stay programmed.
Among them is the camera, gyroscope, accelerometer, and more details as specified below:

UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles)


UAV is a development of automated robots, UAVs themselves to focus on making flying robots. UAV's are a safe and efficient method of monitoring dangerous environments or to take aerial photography, for example.
To create a UAV we will need a lot of sensors that are used to read his surroundings, such as: slope UAV, air pressure, speed rotor, and so forth. To make more sophisticated UAVs, we also have many uses sensors.
some examples UAV developed by ardupilot: 

Humanoid Technology: Bioloid

Bioloid is a once technology of humanoid robotic. Bioloid is a robot construction kits, we are can a construct the robot according to our wishes. Bioloid has spesifications as follows:
  • Main Controller: CM-530
  • Dynamixel (servomotor): AX-12A : 18EA
  • Sensor: GYRO, DMS, IR
