Have you seen this robot?!!
It is called Alfred and was made by the now defunct 'Robot City Technology' in the UK in the 1980's. In the base is a microprocessor system and the robot is controlled via an RS432 interface. I have inherited 2 of these robots but I have no idea of the control commands. There were originally designed to be controlled by BBC computers and the like and some may have been sold into schools and other education establishments.
Have you ever seen one?
Do you have one that works?
Do you know any of the commands?
Do you know anyone that has one?If I don't get any replies I will have to redesign and write the control which I would rather not do if it could be avoided!
If you can help then please email me at
