A Remote System for Gecko Animal-Robot

Abstract

A remote micro-stimulate system for gecko animal-robot,which based on the chips ATmega8L and CC1000,was developed in present studies.This system includes a remote control device and a micro-stimulator,which mainly consists of notebook PC,micro-control unit(MCU) and transceiver.The control command is inputted into notebook PC,and then,sent out by radio frequency transceiver.The micro-stimulator gets the signal,outputs a control signal,regulates gecko's behavior.The remote control device's weight is less than 130g.And it is easy to carry.The micro-stimulator is very compact(length is 31mm,width is 39mm,height is 22mm) and its weight is only 13.6g with a battery.Our experiments testified that this system ran smoothly in 300m open area.
