Every Tuesday, the Control Team meets together. This week, we are finalizing our ROS design, sensor parts selection requirements, and battery specs….Continue Reading Control Meetings
After attending Dr. Sup Premvuti’s “Scanning Laser Range Finders for Robotics” IEEE Seminar at PSU, the UP MARS team invited him to the University of Portland. He demonstrated the Hokuyo LIDAR system in our testing facility. We are using that data to see if using LIDAR is efficient for our purposes! Thank you so much,…Continue Reading Hokuyo LIDAR
Using clever image processing, we may be able to detect pits and rocks using a laser line and a webcam! Here is a processed picture of our facility….Continue Reading Laser Line-Scanning
” I’ve gotten a simple proof of concept for piping commands to a virtual robot in Garry’s Mod from an external program. If we were to replace our current send and receive data to an Arduino code with this pipeline we could control motors and get much of the data our actual sensors will provide us….The…Continue Reading M.A.R.S.
