This is a first demo of the KRZ-01 robot, which is based on a Raspberry Pi Zero W.
The KRZ-01 is executing a fixed routine of movements using a Python-based operating system developed for the robot. The motors have Hall-effect sensors so they can determine the distance travelled, but these are not currently implemented. That's the next step.
You'll note that the robot doesn't start, stop or change its direction immediately. Each motor runs in its own thread with a variable slew rate, so that speed changes occur gradually. This reduces wear and tear on the drive train and makes the robot's movement a bit more graceful.
