Multi-functional intelligent robot

This paper presents a multi-functional autonomous intelligent robot, DOC-1, which actions are exclusively driven by programs of artificial intelligence. The mechanism of this robot was designed so as to fulfill the needs defined by various functions such as gripping the character cubes and teacups, playing Gobang, and rotating and stacking cubes. Furthermore, emphasis was also placed on load lifting capability, weight reduction, energy conservation, and performance reliability. The serial port of the minicomputer is used as the communication interface between the software and electromechanical components. A custom-made chip serves as the control kernel that controls the motions of servo motors that move arms and head of the robot, two DC motors driving wheels and, a number of lights. With integrated the artificial intelligence software and the robot control system, this intelligent robot DOC-1 can perform a number of autonomous functions interactive with human beings.
