The MATS - Modular Actuated Transforming System

By Abdullah Almudaffar

1) Firmware/software for the robot/prototype

Set up the environment:

$ conda create --name mats_env --file requirements.txt
$ conda activate mats_env

After installation, make sure:

• U2D2 Power Hub Board is turned ON and connected to the robot
• USB from the U2D2 is connected to your computer to the right port

Then you can run your Python files from the src folder with examples:

python breakdance.py
python wake_up.py
python dance.py

2) Images from testing the robot
