Bioloid Extension Project
Introduction
The Bioloid humanoid robot is manufactured by Robotis. It is based on 18 Dynamixel AX-12+ servos, connected by a proprietary (but open) common bus. The original central processing unit of the robot is based on a ATMega128 microcontroller. The goal of this board is twofold:
- to replace the existing microcontroller by a better CPU
- to distribute the data link of the CPU with the servos among several parallel buses
