Design, simulate and build a custom drone - Robohub
Dec 5, 2016 · A new system from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) is the first to allow users to design, simulate and build their own custom drone. Users can change the size, shape and structure of their drone based on the specific needs they have for payload, cost, flight time, battery usage and other factors.
Introduction to behavior trees - Robohub
Aug 17, 2021 · Introduction to behavior trees. by Sebastian Castro. 17 August 2021. Abstraction in programming has evolved our use of computers from basic arithmetic operations to representing complex real-world phenomena using models. More specific to robotics, abstraction has moved us from low-level actuator control and basic sensing to reasoning about ...
Anatomy of a robotic system - Robohub
May 21, 2021 · Roughly speaking, a robot is a machine with sensors, actuators, and some computing device that has been programmed to perform some level of autonomous behavior. Below is the essential “getting started” diagram that anyone in AI should recognize. Diagram of typical artificially intelligent agent, such as a robot.
What is the best simulation tool for robotics? - Robohub
Jul 20, 2021 · As robotics makes more use of deep learning, simulators that can deal with data on the fly become necessary, and also a potential solution for simulation problems regarding points of contact or collisions. Rather than utilize multiple simulation methods to make a clearer abstraction of the real world in these boundary situations, the answer may ...

ROS 101: Intro to the Robot Operating System - Robohub
Jan 29, 2014 · ROS (Robot Operating System) is a BSD-licensed system for controlling robotic components from a PC. A ROS system is comprised of a number of independent nodes, each of which communicates with the other nodes using a publish/subscribe messaging model. For example, a particular sensor’s driver might be implemented as a node, which publishes ...
A cube that can jump up, balance, and walk across your desk
Dec 20, 2013 · The result is Cubli, a small cube-shaped robot, named after the Swiss-German diminutive for “cube”. As you can see in the video, Cubli can balance robustly. However, first jump-up tests showed that the stress resulting from a sudden braking of the momentum wheel led to mechanical deformations of the momentum wheels and aluminium frame.

12 October 2021. It’s Ada Lovelace Day and once again we’re delighted to introduce you to “50 women in robotics you need to know about”! From the Afghanistan Girls Robotics Team to K.G.Engelhardt who in 1989 founded, and was the first Director of, the Center for Human Service Robotics at Carnegie Mellon, these women showcase a wide ...
3 types of robot singularities and how to avoid them - Robohub
Mar 2, 2016 · Wrist singularities – These happen when two of the robot’s wrist axes (joints 4 and 6) line up with each other. This can cause these joints to try and spin 180 degrees instantaneously. Shoulder singularities – These happen when the center of the robot’s wrist aligns with the axis of joint 1. It causes joints 1 and 4 to try and spin 180 ...
