In this paper, two algorithms are proposed for a mobile robot with obstacle avoidance and plowing-walking pattern. The three wheels mobile robot, which is combined with four infrared (IR) sensors, and ...

Combining Python programming and ROS2 operating system, user can develop various intelligent algorithms. Cost-effective hardware configuration The car is equipped with Mecanum wheels, depth cameras, ...

Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute recently created OmniWheg, a robotic system that can adapt its configuration while navigating its surrounding environment, seamlessly changing from a ...

Imagine a robot that can transform between "flying drone" and "wheeled rover" configurations. It could potentially be quite useful, but only if it works in real-world conditions. The ATMO bot was ...

Alone, the simple little robot can’t do much, shuffling around on three vibrating tooth-pick legs. But working with 1,000 or more like-minded fellow bots, it becomes part of a swarm that can ...
