The Stair Problem
A robot which moves freely in a building has to be adapted to an environment made for humans. On its way it may encounter small obstacles ( up to 4 cm of hight, e.g. door steps, sills etc.) and stairs. These stairs often have nosings or ledges and sometimes open risers. The slope of indoor stairs can vary between 25° and 42°.
What is Linkage 2.0 ?
Linkage is computer aided design software used for quick prototyping of robotic linkage mechanisms. The number of operations needed to add a link and get it connected to other links in the mechanism has been minimized to the lowest number possible making this program ideal for “throwing together” a working machine. The mechanism is edited and animated in the same window allowing for quick analysis and modification while working on a design. It is simplistic for a CAD program but that is the intent.
Algodoo is a unique 2D-simulation software with a physics engine from Algoryx Simulation AB. Algodoo is designed in a playful, cartoony manner, making it a perfect tool for creating interactive scenes. Explore physics, build amazing inventions, design cool games or experiment with Algodoo in your science classes. Algodoo encourages students and children’s own creativity, ability and motivation to construct knowledge while having fun. Making it as entertaining as it is educational. Algodoo is also a perfect aid for children to learn and practice physics at home.
Steps of ROBOT DESIGN PROCESS
Robotee is using RSF (Robotee Solution Framework) which is a Developing Structure for robot developers. RSF is a whole of solutions composed of models, principals and road maps developed in order to standardize quality in robot development processes.
Prior to joining to NC State, Dr.Bozkurt performed research at Cornell University (2006-2010) to interface microtechnologies with metamorphic development of insects for building remotely controlled biobotic organisms (insect cyborgs). His previous research at Drexel University (2002-2004) included the development of functional near infrared spectroscopy systems for brain-machine interfaces to augment cognition and for clinical monitoring of the newborn brain in neonatal intensive care units.
I am already writing my Masterthesis about knowledge sharing for robots….especially for the NAO robot from Aldebaran robotics. The target is, that Nao robots can share Informations from objects, enviroments or plans over the Cloud. So…it is possible, that heterogeneous robots can exchange executable robot apps among eachother. I am using a cloud-service, called RoboEarth, which represent a world wide web for robots. The robots can exchange roboter-specific Informations via RoboEarth. So Robots are not longer on one´s own – they can benefit from the experience other robots.
