Build Your Own TeRK Robot With Our Robot Recipes

The Qwerkbot Classic is the simplest mobile robot that you can build using a Qwerk processor. Utilizing the holes in the Qwerk enclosure as mount points for two motors and a caster the Qwerkbot recipe literally turns your Qwerk into a robot.

Once you have constructed your Qwerkbot and turned it on, it will automatically search for a wireless network and connect to the Internet. You can then use our software to drive it from any computer with a web browser and Internet connection, even if you and the robot are not in the same place. There's no need to write or compile any software (but of course you can write your own software if you desire, because all our code is open-source).

The Qwerkbot+ adds a pan-tilt head to allow independent motion of the camera and robot base. This version is somewhat more challenging to build than the Qwerkbot Classic.

The AC power Adapter allows you to power a QweRK from an ordinary AC wall outlet.

The Flower is a stationary robot with seven degrees of freedom. Once you have built the Flower, you can use TeRK’s Robot Universal Remote and Flower Power software to program its movements. You can program your Flower to rise or wilt and program the motions of its petals. Because the Flower is equipped with IR sensors on three of its petals, it can track objects moving in front of it. It can even catch a lightweight ball.

iRobot has released an educational robot based on their popular roomba vacuum cleaner line. The robot, called the Create, has the same capabilities as the vacuum cleaner minus the vacuuming. In this recipe we show how to hook the Create up to a Qwerk, allowing you to program and control it at a distance.
