The Biotronics Project
The Biotronics Project was conceptualized by Joey Lawsin in 1988 with a basic objective in mind: to create robots that look alive or with life. He collectively named these robots Biotronics or the Silver Species. This new group of synthetic living organisms can see, smell, taste, hear, feel, think, breed, fly, swim, create, and are self-conscious. They die too. In this project, Lawsin also invented and developed several new smart robotic systems such as Neurotronics,
Homotronics, and Inverse Codex to meet all the demands of his scientific experiments on information materialization, sensoric perceptions, and associative consciousness, and optimize them in the context of the technology of smart electronics rather than in the philosophy of consciousness and psychology or neuroscience.
The project was initiated first using the Lawsin Linkage, a double cantilever truss system with connecting elements (links) that form triangular frames. The structural mechanism of the links was developed to simulate the walking cadence of biotronics animals. Links fulfill the following requirements:
1. It must carry out a walking cadence fluidly like an actual living animal's gait.
2. It can conquer any type of terrain obstacles from carpet floors to seabeds.
3. It can move in different directions with various ranges of actuated motion or R.O.A.M.
4. Its structure elements must be guided by nature's mathematics like geometry.
5. It can be integrated with the Arduino platform for micro-consciousness programming.
Then, the project was put together by combining the various stages of the building process:
Phase 1: The Lawsin Linkage
Phase 2: The Led Indicator
Phase 3: The MicroServo
Phase 4: The Ultrasonic Sensor
Phase 5: The Piezo Speaker
Phase 6: The Stepper Motor
Phase 7: The First Biotronic
Finally, the proof of the concept was delivered into actual physical reality using the Arduino microcontroller as the "brain"(neurotronics) and lego's gears and beams as the "body" (homotronics).
The Proof of Concept :
Stage 1: The Lawsin Linkage Structure:
Stage 2: The Homotronics Side:
Stage 3: The Neurotronics Side :
Stage 4: The Mathematics:
Stage 5: The Inverse Code Matrix :
Stage 6: The Prototype:
Stage 7: The First Biotronics with Sensoric Awareness:
