Mobile Highlights
TALOS
@ Sapienza Università di Roma- TALOS is a tracked mobile robot with two tracked bogies at the sides and four active tracked flippers placed at the front and rear, that endow it with increased mobility in rough terrain. It is equipped with active and passive sensors, namely, a rotating 2D SICK LMS-100 Laser, a Ladybug3 Omnidirectional camera, an inertia measurement unit (IMU) from Xsense, GPS and an on-board quad-core computer.
NASA Mars Rover 2009
@ University of Michigan- NASA-funded project aimed at developing a high-accuracy
dead-reckoning system for the Mars Rover 2009 mission.
We built "Fluffy," a fully functional 1/2-scale clone of the NASA Fido-class Mars Rovers.
We implemented our Fuzzy Logic Expert Rule-based navigation (FLEXnav) method on Fluffy.
We optimized the FLEXnav system for the unique wheel slippage conditions on sandy soil.
Main Innovation: Wheel slippage detection and correction by slippage monitoring
Black Knight
@ Carnegie Mellon University- The National Robotics Engineering Center (NREC) developed
sensing, teleoperation and autonomy packages for BAE Systems' Black Knight,
a prototype unmanned ground combat vehicle (UGCV).
Black Knight demonstrates how UGCVs can be used in the field and showcases current robotics technologies. NREC applied its expertise in sensor fusion, unmanned systems, obstacle detection, path planning, autonomy and teleoperation to improve Black Knight's mission performance and support Soldier operation.
Skiing Robot
@ Josef Stefan Institute- We designed a special 3 degrees of freedom robot dedicated for skiing using the carving technique. The robot has a complex sensory and control system that assures stabilization on the ski slope during skiing and tracks a path marked with race gates and avoids obstacles
Robotic Home Assistants
@ Fraunhofer IPA- For more than ten years, Fraunhofer IPA is working on the development of a mobile robot assistant Care-O-bot® able to assist humans in their daily life. The meanwhile third generation of this successful development series is characterized by a product like system design and for the first time provides the potential to apply manipulating mobile service robots in everyday environments. By using industrial components approved in daily practice the dependability of the system can be ensured.
µAUV
@ University of Bremen- Exploration of the world's oceans and the ocean floor has barely scratched the surface. One explanation for this are the harsh conditions encountered by scientific instruments when deployed into the depths of the sea. The extreme pressures, the total darkness, the need to communicate via broad band (possible only over cable), and the high logistical costs all complicate the deep-sea use of technical systems.
