Rat's Life - News

It's time to start a new edition! Some modifications have been brought to the contest in order to fit better with new features of Webots and to answer about some of the critisms of the previous edition. Firstly, the mazes are now generated randomly. This way, we hope to increase the quality of the controllers. Secondly, the look of the contest has been improved in order to facilitate the image processing. Thirdly, the energy cycle has been simplified. We hope to improve the remote-control of the e-puck as soon as possible, mainly in order to send efficiently the camera images.

RC Quadrotor Helicopter. This project is a RC quadrotor helicopter (quadrocopter, quadcopter, quadricopter, etc).

RC Quadrotor Helicopter

It's a RC helicopter that uses 4 rotors. Watch it in 720p You need some pre-requisite skills: How to use Arduino, enough to get started Soldering, wiring, basic electronic skills Basic hand tool operation A quadrotor helicopter flies with 4 spinning propellers on a + shaped frame. When one rotor spins faster than the rotor on the opposing side, the faster side will have more lift, and thus the helicopter will tilt.

The propellers also need to be in counter-rotating pairs, two spin clockwise and two spin counter-clockwise. We will be building a flight controller circuit that contains an accelerometer and gyroscope sensor so that a microcontroller can detect undesired changes in the helicopter's angle, and adjust each rotor's speed accordingly to counter the variation. The flight controller is a completely open source circuit. Milfordrobotics's Channel. Andrew Davison: Robotics Course. I teach the Robotics Course in the Department of Computing, attended by third years and MSc students.

Andrew Davison: Robotics Course

This is a one term course which focuses on mobile robotics, and aims to cover the main issues in this dynamic field via lectures and a large practical element where students work in groups and implement robotics ideas using the Lego Mindstorms NXT kits and, new for 2014, the Raspberry Pi single board computer and Python using BrickPi interface boards. The course always finishes with a competition where the groups compete to build and program the robot which can most effectively achieve a certain challenge against the clock. OpenSLAM.org.

Rosjava - An implementation of ROS in pure Java with Android support. Google I/O 2011: Cloud Robotics, ROS for Java and Android. Yesterday at Google I/O, developers at Google and Willow Garage announced a new rosjava library that is the first pure-Java implementation of ROS.

Google I/O 2011: Cloud Robotics, ROS for Java and Android

This new library was developed at Google with the goal of enabling advanced Android apps for robotics. The library, tools, and hardware that come with Android devices are well-suited for robotics. Smartphones and tablets are sophisticated computation devices with useful sensors and great user-interaction capabilities. Android devices can also be extended with additional sensor and actuators thanks to the Open Accessory and Android @ Home APIs that were announced at Google I/O, The new rosjava is currently in alpha release mode and is still under active development, so there will be changes to the API moving forward.
