The copter itself is organised around the main CPU. The job of this CPU is to acquire the physical measurement given by the gyroscopes and accelerometers and to control the motors to keep the copter stable. This is done by a regulation loop which controls the motors speed 250 times per second. The radio communication has a pretty low bandwidth and is used to send commands to the copter and receive telemetry data from it. The CPU program can be updated by radio.

Im Formationsflug ausgeschwärmt - Robotiker am General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception Laboratory (Grasp Lab) der Universität von Pennsylvania in Philadelphia haben Drohnen das geordnete Fliegen in der Gruppe beigebracht. Die Drohnen fliegen zu zweit, aber auch in einer Formation von bis zu 20 Quadcoptern. Die Gruppe kann eine Formation in einer Ebene einnehmen. Die Drohnen können aber auch in dreidimensionale Figuren ausschwärmen, etwa in Form einer Pyramide. Durchs Fenster schwärmen

This week we adjusted the control surfaces on the Raptor to get it all balanced and flew it a few times to get more experience and test the airframe's performance. I've got to say, flying wings, and the Raptor specifically, have far exceeded my expectations... it flies great! Its very, very stable, has an excellent power to weight ratio that allows it to climb indefinitely, enough control surface and authority to allow a perfect…

Photos by L.A. Cicero "Super skin" is what Stanford researcher Zhenan Bao wants to create. She's already developed a flexible sensor that is so sensitive to pressure it can feel a fly touch down. Now she's working to add the ability to detect chemicals and sense various kinds of biological molecules. She's also making the skin self-powering, using polymer solar cells to generate electricity.

In der aktuellen Roboterforschung gibt es viele Ansätze und Algorithmen für den Betrieb ganzer Gruppen kooperativ operierender Roboter, die dann Schwarmverhalten an den Tag legen. Zumindest vom Prinzip her geht es dabei um Schwärme mit hunderten oder gar tausenden Individuen. Aus Kosten-, Zeit- und Komplexitätsgründen werden solche Schwärme aber höchstens simuliert oder aber auf Gruppen von wenigen zehn Exemplaren beschränkt.

Corporate Profile K-Team Corporation is a Swiss company that develops, manufactures and markets high quality mobile robots for use in advanced education and research. The Khepera and Koala are now a standard for academic research, while the K-Junior robot is designed for teachers and hobbyists. The KoreBot II based on the KoreBot advanced miniature single board controller is a perfect solution for Automation and custom robotics developments. The company's experience in the field of autonomous mobile robotics applications allows it to provide best of breed solutions to the most demanding academic and commercial research laboratories in the world.In current robotics research there is a vast body of work on algorithms and control methods for groups of decentralized cooperating robots, called a swarm or collective. These algorithms are generally meant to control collectives of hundreds or even thousands of robots; however, for reasons of cost, time, or complexity, they are generally validated in simulation only, or on a group of a few 10s of robots. To address this issue, we present Kilobot, a low-cost robot designed to make testing collective algorithms on hundreds or thousands of robots accessible to robotics researchers. To enable the possibility of large Kilobot collectives where the number of robots is an order of magnitude larger than the largest that exist today, each robot is made with low-cost parts and takes 5 minutes to assemble.

As robots enter novel, uncertain home and office environments, they are able to navigate these environments successfully. However, to be practically deployed, robots should be able to manipulate their environment to gain access to new spaces, such as by opening a door and by operating an elevator. This, however, remains a challenging problem because a robot will likely encounter doors it has not seen before.
Den Bootloader erzeugt man im Programm, auf Firmware-Update klicken und Bootloader erzeugen, dann wird ein "bootloader.hex" erzeugt und die flasht man mit dem STK auf den ATmega32 und setzt die fuses für den Bootloader. Das eigentliche Programm wird dann über Firmware-Update eingespielt. Die PC-Schnittstelle RS232 dient zur Messdatenerfassung, Visualisierung, Fernsteuerung und zum problemlosen Updaten der Steuersoftware über den integrierten Bootloader. https://www.distrelec.de/ishopWebFront/catalog/product.do/para/keywords/is/Schaltregler_mit_78xx_Pinning/and/language/is/de/and/shop/is/DE/and/series/is/1/and/id/is/01/and/node/is/DC-93628/and/artView/is/true/and/productNr/is/363575.html Eine detaillierte Schaltungsbeschreibung sowie die Software für den Mikrocontroller ist im Internet auf der Seite des Schaltungsentwicklers zu finden : http://www.mikrocontroller.net/articles/AVR-Transistortester
