Today I decided to present my small robotics project. I called it Zakhar. It is not really a robot of flesh (though, sometimes I’m assembling different prototypes).  it is a research project where I develop new interesting ways in robotics architecture.

The project is full of abstractions and parallels with human psychology. The main aim if the project is to create a robot(s), which behavior would be understandable and familiar to a human as an observer.

The reason why it is interesting:

For purposes of a comfortable working with serial interfaces, I wrote some template of a state machine, which is easy to modify for any given application. It could one of the good way to work with some processes.
