Autonomous Grabbing RobotThis project is to create a robot with articulated arms (3~6 joints), placed on a wheel or legged motion platform, that can automatically searches color- and shape-featured objects and put them into also color- and shape-featured brackets. The vision system would be to use a ... [More] webcam, with 30 f/s, 640*320 or higher. This project may contain several phases: 1. Using Lego MindStorm to build wheel platform, arm. The webcam is statically installed above the playground where objects, brackets and the robot are located, i.e. a global vision system. The objects and brackets are also statically put. 2. Objects and brackets may slowly in motion. The speed of motion will be slow enough for the global webcam to do the dection algorithm. 3. ... For details, see the project document. [Less]

project started long time ago, restarted while still studying for refactoring and cleaning up, mainly old code, possibly to format code (never completed) ...

robotbuilder

IntroductionRobotBuilder is an application that lets users to build manipulator robots as a kinematic chain of links ( rigid body that connects two joints ) from the base to the end-effector. Each link is represented visually by 3D geometry imported from a 3DS file (3D Studio Format). After ... [More] describing the robot, users can describe its trajectory by using via-points and then request an animation to the application to see an animation and check the resulting path plan. RobotBuilder is primarily intended to university students but it can be used by anybody interested in learning robotics or in building 3D Games since the C++ geometric classes in the source-code can be decoupled from the rest of the code. It was an undergraduate project whose source-code is now available for anyone interested in improving or using it for whatever purposes. Please feel free to make comments or discuss how we can contribute to the project. ScreenshotsLink Type Creation Robot Construction Trajectory Description Compiling RobotbuilderRequirementsTested in Linux/Windows but should work on any operating systems since it supports the libraries listed below Qt3 OpenGL C++ compiler InstructionsIf you have Qt library installed properly ( including developer libraries ) you should just type the following commands: > qmake robotbuilder.pro > makeFeaturesRobotbuilder offers the following features: Create, save, update or remove a link type (linktype file) Import 3d geometry for the link type with 3ds files (3D Studio) Create, save or remove a robot project (robot file) Add, modify or remove a link in the robot link chain Add, modify or remove a robot position (path) in the robot trajectory Animate the resulting trajectory Not all features are implemented, some features are implemented partially. However it is possible to create a robot and its trajectory and see the animation.

polynomial-manipulator

Performs simple operations on polynomials. All these operations will be on single variable polynomials. I'm also planning to extending it to multiple variables. Operations Performed: 1) Addition 2) Multiplication 3) Division 4) Integration and differentiation
