Step 5Robot Right
The right side of the robot consist mainly of the USB telescoping camera mast used during teleoperation. The camera can be adjusted for different scenarios. If one wants to monitor a person at eye level then the telescope can be fully extended for this scenario. This type of adaptable hardware is a very useful feature for the many different physical environments and applications found in a home.
The mast was actually part of an off the shelf adjustable tripod stand. One leg was removed from the tripod and then mounted upside down with a camera fixed to the top. Typically, routing of the USB camera wiring becomes an issue when the mast is adjusted for different lengths. However, in this case a commonly available retracted USB cord was used in conjunction with the telescoping mast to automically adjust the cable length with the telecope position.
The water pump reservoir and Create serial interface adapter are also located on this side.
