The GunnCS platform provides a flexible, comprehensive system allowing for high level development of robotic solutions, ready for deployment on embedded Java-enabled controller systems. From start ... [More] to finish, the GunnCS platform provides all the necessary pieces to focus robotics development on application software, promoting more advanced robotic system. The platform consists of A 2D robot simulation environment Tools for simulation test case development A high-level API for robot control An operating system-like framework to manage essential robot systems Diagnostic Tools for both application and hardware testing "Pluggable" Robot model for reconfiguring hardware The GunnCS platform was designed and implemented for use with the SunSPOT embedded controller, driving an iRobot Create with a variety of additional sensors. Additional hardware platforms using the Squawk Java Virtual Machine are in development, including the National Instruments cRIO. This framework is fully compatible with rules and regulations for the FRC Robotics competition and International Autonomous Robotics Competition. [Less]

The ProjectIRCE (Integrated Robot Control Environment) is a programming environment for mobile robot software control that makes use of the Player/Stage/Gazebo Project to simulate the robots behavior. ... [More] Since it is a 3D simulation, actually only Player and Gazebo are used. The application lets users to create 3D virtual worlds and place 3d models such as ground, walls (boxes) or cylinders and robots with its sensors such as a Pioneer2DX with a Sick LMS200 sensor. Each robot control can be implemented in a separated tab inside a source-code editor so that it can be compiled later. At the end, the robot behavior can be verified with a simulation that is executed by the system by making an external call to Player and Gazebo. IRCE started as a Master´s dissertation requirement and now it is available for anyone to contribute, make comments or borrow its code for whatever purposes. ScreenshotsSelected model properties are shown beside Grid Drawing from observer cam's viewpoint Player config files are generated from a graphic interface Software Control can also be implemented in the application Animation is execute through external call to Player/Gazebo with one-button-click Requirements to CompileLinux (originally Ubuntu) but should work in other UNIX systems C++ compiler wxWidgets 2.4.2 ( or any compatible version ) OpenGL or any implementation such as Mesa LibXML2 ODE (Open Dynamics Engine) Requirements to RunPlayer/Stage/Gazebo tools (only Player and Gazebo are needed ) (Gazebo should be compiled manually for Ubuntu ) Join the Project´s GroupWant to join the Project or make some comments ?

IntroductionOur primary objective is to provide a framework for testing navigation algorithms. This testbed will help a user to define a specific navigation problem, which consists of a dynamic model ... [More] and one or more sensing models. To solve the problem, the testbed will also offer a library of trajectory optimization algorithms. We cannot guarantee that any single component will be the best in its class, but we will guarantee that it will be easy to swap out one component for another and compare their performance.

A mini robot that use sensors to navigate.

A simplified C language API / library for the iRobot Create / Roomba robots that eliminates the byte transfer oriented style of the original command and sensor data calls. Docs, reworked examples from ... [More] the Create Command Module, build templates for Win/AV [Less]
