I recently received a comment on my post on controlling NXT robots with Matlab that pointed me to the RWTH - Mindstorms NXT Toolbox for MATLAB®, which is a public domain Matlab package that enables one to interface with and control LEGO mindstorms.
The RWTH - Mindstorms NXT Toolbox for MATLAB® was developed as a student project in […]

CLARAty (Coupled-Layer Architecture for Robotic Autonomy) is a framework for reusable robotics software. It was developed in part by my former colleagues at NASA Ames Research Center in collaboration with Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Carnegie Mellon, and the University of Minnesota (my alma matter).
They are in the process of making the framework and several modules publicly available.

I have been working for about 48 hours (straight with intermittent cat naps) on my robotic arm, which is equipped with a point light sensor. I have re-programmed it to characterize polygons as well as circles. However, the main purpose of this research project is to develop an inquiry engine that is generally engineered to […]

‘Am I already in the shadow of the Coming Race? and will the creatures who are to transcend and finally supersede us be steely organisms, giving out the effluvia of the laboratory, and performing with infallible exactness more than everything that we have performed with a slovenly approximativeness and self-defeating inaccuracy?’
