Design, simulate and build a custom drone - Robohub
Dec 5, 2016 · A new system from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) is the first to allow users to design, simulate and build their own custom drone. Users can change the size, shape and structure of their drone based on the specific needs they have for payload, cost, flight time, battery usage and other factors.
Introduction to behavior trees - Robohub
Aug 17, 2021 · Introduction to behavior trees. by Sebastian Castro. 17 August 2021. Abstraction in programming has evolved our use of computers from basic arithmetic operations to representing complex real-world phenomena using models. More specific to robotics, abstraction has moved us from low-level actuator control and basic sensing to reasoning about ...

Anatomy of a robotic system - Robohub
May 21, 2021 · Roughly speaking, a robot is a machine with sensors, actuators, and some computing device that has been programmed to perform some level of autonomous behavior. Below is the essential “getting started” diagram that anyone in AI should recognize. Diagram of typical artificially intelligent agent, such as a robot.
The evolution of assembly lines: A brief history - Robohub
Apr 24, 2014 · The assembly line has long been considered one of the greatest innovations of the 20th century. It has shaped the industrial world so strongly that businesses that did not adopt the practice soon became extinct, and it was one of the key factors that helped integrate the automobile into American society. The Early Assembly Line Concept.
ROS 101: Intro to the Robot Operating System - Robohub
Jan 29, 2014 · ROS (Robot Operating System) is a BSD-licensed system for controlling robotic components from a PC. A ROS system is comprised of a number of independent nodes, each of which communicates with the other nodes using a publish/subscribe messaging model. For example, a particular sensor’s driver might be implemented as a node, which publishes ...
3 types of robot singularities and how to avoid them - Robohub
Mar 2, 2016 · Wrist singularities – These happen when two of the robot’s wrist axes (joints 4 and 6) line up with each other. This can cause these joints to try and spin 180 degrees instantaneously. Shoulder singularities – These happen when the center of the robot’s wrist aligns with the axis of joint 1. It causes joints 1 and 4 to try and spin 180 ...
Integrated Task and Motion Planning (TAMP) in robotics
Sep 16, 2022 · Hierarchical planning is great in that it helps prune infeasible plans before spending time producing detailed, low-level plans. However, in this space the mythical downward refinement property is often cited. To directly quote the 1991 paper by Bacchus and Yang, this property states that “given that a concrete-level solution exists, every abstract solution can be refined to a concrete-level ...
