robots.net - Robots: Swarming Satellites - 0 views

  • The latest episode of the Robots podcast interviews Dr. Alvar Saenz-Otero from MIT on the SPHERES project. SPHERES (Synchronized Position Hold Engage and Reorient Experimental Satellites) are basketball-sized satellites able to fly in and maintain formation at nanometer precision. In the second part of this episode we continue our quest for a good definition of a robot by looking at a well-known definition dating back to 1979. Read on or tune in!

Seaswarm Brings Swarm Robotics To Oil Spill Cleanup | BotJunkie - 0 views

  • Getting oil out of water isn’t that hard, on principle. What is hard is getting a huge amount of oil out of an even huger amount of water. If you think about it, this is really a perfect task for a swarm of robots, since it’s simple and repeatable and just needs to be done over and over (and over and over and over) again. With this in mind, MIT’s Senseable City Lab has created Seaswarm, a swarm of networked oil spill cleanup robots:

robots.net - Swarming Micro Air Vehicle Network - 0 views

  • aims at developing swarms of flying robots that can be deployed in disaster areas to rapidly create communication networks for rescuers. Flying robots are interesting for such applications because they are fast, can easily overcome difficult terrain, and benefit from line-of-sight communication.

TYWKIWDBI: Swarming robots pulling a child - 1 views

  • I must be getting old; I didn't even know there were swarm bots. Or that you could use them to move children from room to room.

    Take her to the protein vats in organics processing lab 4. LOL

    Hehe... interesting. Swarm robotics is actually one of the subjects I'm currently working on... I have this vid and a bunch of others on a Verse page. ;)

Cutest Quadcopter Ever Sounds Like a Swarm of Angry Bees - IEEE Spectrum - 0 views

  • Instead of calling CrazyFlie (as it's known) a tiny quadcopter, it might be more accurate to just describe it as a PCB that happens to also be able to launch itself into the air. Measuring a scant 10 centimeters per side, CrazyFlie uses its PCB as a primary structural component, which helps keep the size and weight to a minimum... In total, we're talking about only 20 grams. Despite its tinyness, the quadcopter includes a charging port, radio, 3-axis accelerometer, two gyroscopes, and a lightweight 110 mAh LiPO battery that gives it about four and a half minutes of flying time:
