Servos are DC motors with built-in gearing and feedback control that can be positioned by pulsed signals to the control wire. They operate from 4.8-6V and have power, ground, and signal wires. The pulse width controls the position, with 1.5ms at the center and shorter or longer pulses to either side. Microcontrollers are integrated circuits that contain a CPU, memory, and I/O to control an embedded system with a dedicated function through simple, repeating instructions stored in ROM.
Our Lady of Fatima Parish was originally established as a chapel under St. Joseph Parish called Our Lady of Beautiful Love. In 1976, Cardinal Jaime Sin established it as its own parish and renamed it Our Lady of Fatima. Thirteen years later, Cardinal Sin consecrated the parish to Our Lady of Fatima. The parish was built through fundraising led by the Philamlife Homeowners association and its first priest was Rev. Fr. Josefino Ramirez.
The document contains schedules for the various events taking place over 3 days of a tech festival. Day 1 includes lectures, workshops on topics like hacking and robotics, and evening events like a quiz show. Day 2 continues with more lectures and workshops as well as a product launch and fireworks display. Day 3 concludes the festival with additional lectures, the finals of competitions, and a laser light show.
The document describes the rules and gameplay for the autonomous robotics event "Incognito" at Techniche '10. The robot must navigate a maze to determine a color code, then follow that code to light LEDs in the correct order along a path and navigate a grid, completing the stages within time limits for points. The aim is for the robot to autonomously identify and arrange colors based on distances to form a code and use that code to navigate out of the arena.
This document discusses legged robot locomotion and stability. It explains that statically stable robots can remain balanced without active control, while dynamically stable robots use active control to balance while moving. Hexapod robots that lift three legs at a time can walk in a statically stable alternating tripod gait. Servos are also discussed as actuators commonly used in legged robots due to their precise position control.
