Segway-Based Robot Opens Doors

Segway-Based Robot Opens Doors 11/12/2003 01:27 PM
BoingBoing pal Roland Piquepaille says,

"In this short article, Technology Review tells us that Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have built a new robot, named Cardea, which is able to push open doors and has the bottom half of a Segway scooter. Cardea will be five feet tall with a torso, three arms, a variety of sensors, and a human-like head with expressive features and vision, and mounted on a Segway base. More details and references are contained in this review which also includes several pictures. For even more details, go to the Cardea Project homepage."

Linux Becomming Robot OS of Choice

Linux Becomming Robot OS of Choice 12/06/2003 01:05 PM
Tech News World is saying that Japan's robot developers are going Linux. Japan seems to be hot place for robots and Japan is using Linux for their robots. Probably because Japan isn't scared of the mean old robots like other countries may be and probably because they need someone to take care of their elderly. These Japanese robots need an OS, and what's becomming the defacto standard is Linux. Although Windows is working other venues such as speech recognition and such, it seems Linux already has a shoe in for robots in Japan.

BoingBoing buddy Roland Piquepaille says:

Following this LinuxInsider.com story, "Japan's Robot Developers Go Linux," Linux Devices decided to publish its own "Linux-po wered Robots Quick Reference Guide." And Paul Baron spent some time shooting pictures during the 2003 International Robot Exposition in Tokyo about two weeks ago. So here is a photo gallery gathered from these two different sources. You'll meet for example TMSUK04 from Meiji University, able to communicate via e-mail, or Isamu, which climbs stairs like Asimo.

Real-Time Linux on a Soccer Robot

Real-Time Linux on a Soccer Robot 02/01/2005 10:05 PM
A new LinuxDevices.com article by Huang Yi, of the SJTU RoboCup team, describes the third generation soccer robot that placed fifth at the most recent RoboCup competition. The robot, which runs RTLinux, uses two color camers for vision and a laser range finder for goal keeper location. The robot uses two compuers, a laptop for high level control and a TI TMS320LF2407A DSP for motion control. The article also shows the first and second generation robots that used SICK LMS scanners.

We 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.

Sony-Ericsson's Linux-based ROB-1 03/14/2005 06:03 PM
A LinuxDevices.com 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.

I downloaded and burnt Mandrake 10.0 Community, opened up a very old computer (with a CPU clock in the low three figures), and took care of the problem once and for all.

Linux Based Mars Rovers for Museums

Linux Based Mars Rovers for Museums 12/23/2003 10:45 AM
CMU 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 TV.
