Looking back, I am surprised at how electronics has quietly advanced to the point where we can buy small programmable computers on chips for a dollar or two. These are microcontrollers of course, and in my lab we are working on programming them to handle the tedious tasks in our robotics projects.
At makezine.com, I stumbled on this gem of […]

During the second spacewalk of the STS-123 mission, the crew began assembling Dextre. Dextre is the newest member of the International Space Station’s Mobile Servicing System, and will act as a repair and construction robot for the ISS’s exterior. Dextre is enormous “standing” or rather floating at 12 feet tall. He has an 8 foot shoulder space […]

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.
