Robots


AquaShoko

 
 
Underwater Legged Robot – AquaShoko: This robot is an underwater legged robot designed to develop and test walking algorithms in non-terrestrial environments. This robot is IP-68 rated at 5m.

 
 
 
 


critr

 
Compact Repair Inspection Telepresence Robot (CRITR): There are many issues that plague modern pipe inspection and repair robots. These include but are not limited to exorbitant costs, lack of operational capabilities, lack of system transparency, and lack of an intuitive control. To address these issues, we propose the Compact Repair Inspection Telepresence Robot (CRITR). The CRITR, is an open-source solution that will provide greater operational capabilities and a platform that will not be restricted to pipe operations. This document contains information about the fabrication and functionality of CRITR.


cloudbot

 
 
40 ft Tall Robot Head in the Cloud: A pan tilt “art project” robot head designed to give the user a 40 foot view, when logged in remotely. This was inspired by the XKCD comic entitled “Depth Perception”

 
 
 


pioneer

 
 
Pioneer Ground Robots: The Pioneer 3AT and 3DX ground robots are designed to carry a laptop sensor and other equipment. They are used for indoor and outdoor multi-agent experimentation, human robot interaction, and other such research. These robots were also used for the annual “Whisky and Widgets” event as an automatic whisky delivery device.

 


blimp

 
 
Lighter-Than-Air Autonomous Agents (LTA3): These agents (blimps) are used for real-world swarm and emergent behavior research. Many agents can fly simultaneously, they are safe to operate around humans, and can collide with each other without causing damage. These agents are originally based on the GT-MAB agents by Fumin Zhang at Georgia Tech.

 


darwinop

 
 
DARwIn-OP: Child size humanoid robot used for walking gait development, human robot interaction, and participation in the RoboCup Humanoid League.

minibotMiniBot: MiniBot is a custom designed and 3D printed robot we refer to as Minibot and was created as a part of a senior design project at George Mason University. It is comprised of a series of Dynamixel AX-12 and AX-18 servos, daisy-chained together, and two USB cameras connected separately. All of the pieces are connected using 3D printed, plastic brackets, available on Thingiverse, and the robot is attached to a 1/2″ thick, 7.5″x12″ board. The board is attached to the mobile platform, an MMP8, by velcro for easy removal. From the videos, it can be see that the blue robot is the controller for the red robot.

 


openhubo

OpenHubo: OpenHubo is a collection of models of KAIST / Rainbow humanoid robots. As of release 0.6.x, the collection includes: Hubo2 (Torso-base), Hubo2 (Right-foot-base), Hubo+ (Torso-base), Hubo+ (Right-foot-base), Hubo+ (No-Shell model). These models have inertia and mass properties to accurate to within about 1 kg of the physical robot. Masses such as cables are not well represented in CAD, while mechanical components are accurately sized and massed. The result should be accurate enough for simulation though Open Dynamics Engine (ODE) and similar engines.

 


opendrchubo

OpenDRC-Hubo: OpenDRC-Hubo is a dynamic model of the of the KAIST / Rainbow humanoid robot DRC-Hubo. The specifications for this robot were determined through testing by Team DRC-Hubo of the DARPA Robotics Challenge. This model has inertia and mass properties to accurate to within about 1 kg of the physical robot. Masses such as cables are not well represented in CAD, while mechanical components are accurately sized and massed. The result should be accurate enough for simulation though Open Dynamics Engine (ODE) and similar engines.
