Re: [Playerstage-users] Informal survey of robots in use with player

[Radu B. R. <ve...@in...>]

Good idea Toby!

Well, we're working with Activmedia Pioneer (2 and 3) robots of course, here
at the Robotics Research Group, Faculty of Automation and Computer Science,
Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania. So another ball in Reed's
favor! :)

Besides that we have some custom in-house designed robots, which should be
player-programmable sometime in the future.

And of course, our newest creation, the ZeeRO mobile robot (differential
drive, Gumstix 400bt, 2xAcroname Brainstems, sonars, ir, pyroelectric
sensors together with a servoed cmucam2). The idea was to create a low-cost
mobile robot with a modular hardware/software architecture, write a couple
of player drivers, and control it using more than one programming language.
I think we pretty much achieved that. :) I am publishing the information on
how ZeeRO was built, together with the full source codes sometime this
weekend at http://www.robotux.info/zeero.

Cheers,
Radu.
