This video shows the functions developed in the MIDAS project based on Kompaï robot and Geomobile RFID tags. The primary goal of MIDAS is to develop complete and intelligent solutions, making use of different types of sensors, actuators, and connectivity technologies.

FIRST, a robot for logistics automation in hospitals

vdupourque — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 06:25:11 +0000

This robot has been designed by ROBOSOFT:PGES’s engineers in the 2000s.
It has been designed for logistics automation in hospitals.
The navigation system is based on laser localization, which does not require any infrastructure.

Enhanced robuCAR-TT

vdupourque — Mon, 30 May 2011 09:35:19 +0000

This video shows the latest version of our multi-purpose mobile platform for research in all-terrain robotics.
The robuCAR-TT can reach almost 30km/h, accelerate up to 2 m/s2. Control can be done using an on-board UDP server (from any PC and OS), or with the robuBOX, ROBOSOFT’s Open Source middleware for developers and integrators, based on Microsoft Robotics Studio

robuREMOTE, a universal remote control for service robots

vdupourque — Fri, 20 May 2011 12:40:44 +0000

Designed for remote control of outdoors robots, robuREMOTE offers a generic, portable, ergonomic and modular robot control software (for Robosoft robots or not). The interface is made of one window divided with specific panels dedicated to : map, video, dashboard, driving and embedded modules. This allows the user to check important data at any time and to organize the interface the way he needs. Augmented reality is possible using robuREMOTE by overlaying various data on the video display (optical flow, cameras’ information…).

Kompaï demonstrated at Poitiers Hospital

vdupourque — Tue, 17 May 2011 04:58:20 +0000

Kompaï has been demonstrated at CHU Poitiers, on May 12th, 2011. The main goal was to show navigation reliability inside the hospital. After a few minutes of set-up, Kompaï did it perfectly, through corridors, around trolleys to elevators !

New control technology for robuCAR-TT

vdupourque — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 06:42:55 +0000

We installed our control technology based on PURE (Professional Universal Robot Engine) and robuBOX into our all-terrain research robot, the robuCAR-TT.

We show in this video the factory trials done in March 2011, which demonstrate high-speed (25 km/h) and clearance capabiliites.

Simulation of robotic rescue mission after natural disaster (2)

vdupourque — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 10:27:19 +0000

The simulator shown in this video (French or English) has been developed by ROBOSOFT in the SCA2RS project, sponsored by FRAE and in cooperation with ONERA, SAGEM and CNRS-LAAS. It manages the behavior of all the actors in a rescue mission scenario, after a natural disaster. These actors are groups of survivors and a fleet of aerial drones, land robots and manned helicopters in charge of seeking and rescuing the survivors. This simulator is the realistic reflect of the fleet’s intelligence developed by our partners in their planning algorithm.
