This software used in this robot allows it to avoid obstacles in 3D. Although obstacle avoidance is nothing new, performing in 3D and with this complexity requires a lot more sophistication than a simple 2 dimensional obstacle avoiding robot. Besides this robot is able to move so quickly that can be a lot more beneficial […]
Autonomous navigation is one of the most challenging parts of building a robot and especially, if it is a humanoid robot you are dealing with, things easily get much more difficult. Of course, real world conditions involve changing environments as well. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, were able to come up with an algorithm that […]
