But if you feel like designing a robot, my best suggest is just to make a simple stuff... You can build up your ideas to complexity once you have completed your studies.

My opinion will to be to make an Light/IR chaser. Just get some toys from LEGO, design an IR Tx'er and 2 IR Rx'ers, then implement/control the motors in your toy. TO archieve this you must have learned about filters.


I agree with Lehuma, but I would stage things.
I would start simple, and then see how far you can push it in the time available. Make it chase lights, then react to touch, then react to sound, then look for its own battery charger when it can detect low battery level, but at any time, after the most basic level you will have a functional fall back position, so if you find, for whatever reason, you can't GET the next stage to work, you still have enough for a valid project.

For an idea of whats possible look for "Machinus Speculatrix" on Google. Its inventor is now seen as a pioneer of functional intelligence research.
