Oct 9, 2016 @ 09:22 | The aim of Hardware ROS (H-ROS) is creating easily reusable and reconfigurable robot hardware components to simplify the creation of robots and allow parts from different manufacturers to interoperate. Erle Robotics, developer of next generation of artificial brains for robots and drones is developing the Hardware Robot Operating System […]
Oct 7, 2016 @ 13:55 | Researchers at the University of Rochester have developed a model for processing natural language so that a robot can be given basic verbal commands and then act on them without the need for additional programming. Robots can be programmed to perform all sorts of repetitive tasks, but they don’t adapt well to […]
Jul 17, 2016 @ 17:02 | ROS Qt Creator Plug-in increases developers’ efficiency by simplifying tasks and creating a centralized location for ROS tools. Levi Armstrong from Southwest Research Institute has developed Qt Creator IDE (Integrated Development Environment) Plug-in for ROS. ROS Qt Creator Plug-in increases developers’ efficiency by simplifying tasks and creating a centralized […]
Jul 16, 2016 @ 03:02 | EPFL | EPLF Physics student Darius Merk has used an insect-inspired algorithm to develop a drone that can navigate around obstacles. His research could prove particularly useful in a natural disaster. How do you send a drone on a reconnaissance mission in a hard-to-reach area without it getting stuck in […]
MIT researchers tested the viability of their algorithm by using it to guide a crew of three robots in the assembly of a chair. Today’s industrial robots are remarkably efficient as long as they’re in a controlled environment where everything is exactly where they expect it to be. But put them in an unfamiliar setting, […]
