written the first
of a
series of articles for mobilerobotics.org on the
challenges of building a PC-based robot that runs Linux. His first
article includes an introduction explaining the project and a few of
the
goals. He also presents a list of interesting hardware that could be
used for PC-based robots and links to a lot of related web sites.

First Linux-based tablet PC
First Linux-based tablet PC
11/02/2003 02:09 PMWe almost weren't going to post something about this, but what the
heck, it's been a slow weekend for gadgets: Desktop Evolution is
coming out with the first tablet PC running Linux. The De-Tablet is
actually Toshiba's Portege 3500, just with a special version of the
Linux operating system designed for pen-based computing.
Unfortunately, it doesn't support handwriting recognition yet, which
is one of the better features of Microsoft's Tablet PC operating
system. Read [Via Slashdot]...
Knoppix: CD-Based Linux
Knoppix: CD-Based Linux
07/06/2004 11:39 PM
I'm writing this
entry from a Linux machine...but I never installed Linux. I've booted
my PC off a Knoppix disc, which is a bootable Linux CD. I'm in Linux
now, but I just need to pop the CD and reboot, and I'm back to
Windows.
You can get the CD image file at www.knoppix.com (I used Bit Torrent to get my
version). Burn it to a CD, stick it in the drive, and reboot. You
will boot into a really nice Linux distribution.
There are no users on the system — you're automatically
logged on as root. If you're worried about this, don't be —
remember that you booted from a CD. If you screw something up as
root, just reboot and the system will be back to normal.
While Knoppix can read everything on your hard drive, it has no
write access by default, so it's not going to do anything to your
existing stuff. You can allow it to write, but it's not advisable
with an NTFS drive. Knoppix creates a ramdisk to store all the stuff
it needs while running. It accesses everything else off the CD, just
like it would off the hard drive normally. When you run a new
program, you can hear the CD spool up. Consequently, it's slower than
a normal Linux machine, but not by much.
It's fully functional — it detected everything on my machine,
including FireWire and USB devices. I just had to get the network
card to broadcast a DHCP request and I was on the network. It
recognized my Lexmark E210 printer just fine, and I'm listening to MP3s on XMMS as I write this. I had more
trouble with my dedicated Linux install at work, and I spent days
fiddling with that.
It comes with scads of software, like most Linux distributions
— KDE, Open Office, The Gimp, Mozilla, Konquerer, etc. Since it forms a
ramdisk when it boots, you can save files and work with them just as
if it were a normal operating system. I saved the image above off a
Web site, cropped it, and converted it to JPG in The Gimp. If I
wanted to keep it beyond this session, I could always FTP it somewhere
(remember that KDE is FTP-aware — you can map an FTP site to a
local folder, so you'd never really know the difference).
I'm fairly well stunned by this. It's really amazing. Sure, it
can't really store or persist anything locally from session to
session, but most of my apps are Web-based and my email is IMAP, so
I'm actually pretty functional.
If you ever wanted to try Linux but you don't want to make any
changes to your current Windows set-up, Knoppix is exactly what you're
looking for.

article describes the new Sony Ericsson ROB-1 robot
which was announced
last week. The robot is basically a small, teleoperated camera
contained
in an 11 cm spherical shell. The two hemispheres form main drive
wheels
and a small
tail-dragger is used for balance. The robot uses a 200 MHz Freescale
Dragonball processor
with 2 MB of RAM and runs Linux. The robot can maintain a bluetooth
link
to a Sony-Erricsson P900/P910
mobile phone. The phone can control the robot and display streaming
video from the onboard camera.

THC-vlogger, an advanced linux kernel based keylogger, enables the
capability to log keystrokes of all administrator/user 's sessions via
console, serial and remote sessions (Telnet, SSH), switching logging
mode by using magic password, stealthily sending logged data to
centralized remote server. Its smart mode can automatically detect
password prompts to log only sensitive user and password information.

Center. It
runs Linux, has stereo vision, a manipulator arm, and can be
teleoperated. The robot can travel at up to 12 kph and climb 45 degree
slopes using multiple tank-like tracks. More photos and video of
the robot in action are available at the ROBHAZ website.
Linux Based Mars Rovers for Museums

12/23/2003 10:45 AMCMU has announced
20 Personal
Exploration Rovers (PERs) that will make the round to science
museums around the US. The Linux-based robots will simulate real Mars
rovers within "Mars yards", sand-box like replicas of Martian terrain.
CMU and NASA are collaborating to build the robots in an effort to
teach
kids about robots. Future plans of CMU's Personal Rover
Project include lowering the cost of future rovers to
the point that kids can buy one and take it home with them. Additional
photos and video are available from the CMU
site and from NASA

Picotux Linux-Based RJ45-Sized Computer
03/29/2005 08:52 AM
Kleinhenz, a German
electronics company, is shipping their new network-enabled Linux
system in a unit just about the size of a standard RJ-45 Ethernet
jack. The "Picotux,"barely big enough to print its MAC address on, is
based on the NetSilicon DigiConnect ME, a fully functional Linux-based
OS, with up to 8 MB of Flash memory and blinking LEDs to tell you
what's going on in there. It requires 3.3V of DC power but also
includes a serial port and a processor up to 55MHz. It's available in
Wireless flavor as well, with the wired version costing about $130. A
similar, Ethernet-sized web server has
existed for some time, but this is likely the first running a
Linux kernel on it. It's available today, if you speak German. (Their
product page doesn't have any ordering information.)
