HSRDP - Hackspace Robotics Development Platform
HSRDP is an attempt to provide a robotics platform for the hackspace to allow people to experiment with higher level robotics functions.
The plan is to sit our UMI robot arm on top of the mobility aid scooter. Plug it all into ROS with some sensors and allow people to make their own nodes for high level functions
It's part of the hackspace and collaborators are welcome, please get in-touch with Mentar (IRC) to find out what you can help. It's a great learning exercise for:
- the stuff that's required to get [Project:UMI_RTX_Robot_arm|robot arm]] working
- Robotics (more higher level stuff!)
- ROS (point clouds, sensing, planning)
- arduino
- motor control
- battery management
Status
- Currently trying to debug the Robot arm control board
Example uses
- Robotic buttler - Show people around the space, bring club-mate etc
- Robotic bartender - Party/event mode configuration, mix up drinks (this one is quite challenging)
- Telepresense - Self evident uses
