Hi, =20 Before year end we will want to buy a new robot, Which is the best platform to use with player? . Are there some comparative study of the different platforms? Rafael |

Hi, There might be some other opinions on this, however as far as I'm aware there is only one commercial robot company that supports player directly (ActivMedia?), although there is not much mention of it on their website (a few of their developers are on this mailing list and will be more than happy to clarify this im sure). Support for most of the popular robots is pretty good so my recommendation would be to decide what robot you would like based on its physical setup and then enquire if there is any reason to not use it with player.

ActivMedia does not support Player, but we software developers here like it, and recognize that it is a popular software solution for Pioneer robots, and have decided to contribute some time to it when we are able to, especially Stage -- which we use as the core component of a free Pioneer-specific simulator we now distribute. A little survey of what robots people use Player on might be fun and informative. Reed |

I thought I would start this one as a new thread, but as sugested by Reed here is the start of an informal survey of what robots are being used by player users. It will be interesting to see what people are using out there. Robot Lab/Group/Individual: University of Auckland Robot Group Player Enabled Robots: B21R (rflex driver), with lots of additions (wifi, LCD monitor, sick scanner, speakers (with sub)) 6 Pioneers (These are actually still in shipping, but we will have them soon, and 1 more later in the year) ~15 Shurikens (Custom 3 omniwheel robots with a bluetooth link, plugin player driver) 1 Khepera and a few other custom robots that are not player enabled :) Further details of our group available at http://www.ece.auckland.ac.nz/~robot.

We currently use Marvin, which is a platform designed specially at ETH with Player and the ability to extensively change the robots hardware/configurations in mind. We use this platform with our capstone robotics design course and have open sourced much of the information on it. http://www.iris.ethz.ch/research/marvin/index.php We also use Player with our RoboKit. This is a simple 2 DOF arm that students build from the ground up in their Introduction to Robotics class. Player comes in when the students use the arm in a subsequent class for visual servoing. http://www.iris.ethz.ch/research/robokit/index.php I also user Player to control one of our 6 DOF manipulators for microassembly. The reason I chose Player is because of its extensibility and the fact that our project didn't have "hard" real-time constraints. As soon as we finish the upgrade currently going on in CVS, I'm also working with Acroname on on porting their Garcia to Player/Stage. This should probably be done 1-2 weeks after the stuff in CVS becomes stable again. http://www.acroname.com/garcia/garcia.html How about everyone else? Cheers, -bk |

Intelligent Robotics Group, University of Wales, Aberystwyth, UK 4 Pioneer 2DXe (running player (and ARIA by some here ;-)) 1 Pioneer 2AT (mostly me, meaning almost only player). They all have loads of various sensors, but we tend to write our own software to access them, at least they added on, such as cameras. Soon a RobuCarTT. At the moment, player does not support it, but I hope to find some time (or willing students) to do the code development. Fred |

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.

We use Player a little with our 2 Pioneer 3AT robots and amigobot. I have not switched our ER-1 over yet. We also have some in house robots that we are considering the use of Player.

Hi, Cognitive Machines Group, MIT Media Lab We're starting to use it with our Pioneer 2 DX, but mostly I've used it with Gazebo so far. I hope to eventually buy a robotic wheelchair and move to that platform. (Any used ActiveMedia Robochariots out there looking for a new home?)
