The Followers by Makiko Yoshii and Jay Pozo from Granville Island Works on Vimeo.
I worked on this project with Makiko Yoshi during the Cultural Olympiad at Emily Carr University, held during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. Makiko’s beautifully built case contained a pair of Arduino driven motor controllers and a pair of 12V motors. The Arduino monitored the robot’s direction in relation to the metal train tracks in the ground in front of Emily Carr University, adjusting to turn slowly, giving the impression of a meandering, searching being wandering down the road.
