Presentation Transcript

  1. SyRoTek – a System for Remote Multi-Robot Experiments • Miroslav Kulich • New Open Source Tools for Robotics from EU Projects Workshop at the European Robotics Forum 2013, 19.-21. March 2013, Lyon, France Markus Vincze, TU Wien, YannisAloimonos, University of Maryland, Christian Wögerer, Profactor GmbH, Katerina Pastra, Cognitive Systems Research Institute, Athens Antonis Gasteratos, Democritus University ofThrace

  2. Goal of tool • Playground (Arena) 350x380cm with fixed and retractable obstacles • 12 fully programmable robots controlled over Internet • 24/7 maintenance-free environment, charging docks • Robots: 18 cm, 2 kg, 0.34 m/s, 8 hours, ARM Cortex, Linux • Sensors: laser, sonars, IR, accelerometer, floor sensor, camera

  3. System overview

  4. Use of tool, software/framework used • Player/Stage and ROS support in C++ • Control applications may be executed either on user’s workstation, remotely on the SyRoTek server, or in the Stage simulator • Web interface: registration, videos, documentation, teaching material • UNIX-like operating system support: command-line tools • Plugins for NetBeans IDE, prepared tasks, SVN support

  5. Examples of uses and users • Introduction to Mobile Roboticscourse, University of Buenos Aires • One-week course within ECI 2011 • 70 attendees • 4 hours in the lab: simple obstacle avoidance • Experiments in the simulator, 4 teams controlled the real robots • Practical Robotics course, Czech Technical University in Prague • One semester in 2011/12 and 2012/13 • Exploration task • Thesis, research (Comenius Univ. Bratislava) • Statistics from 2011/12 (32 weeks) • 487.5 hours of Arena reservations (15.5 per week) • 1376 robot-hours • 22% reservations made between 6pm and 8am • PAR students: 48%, other students: 23%, teachers: 20%, admins: 4.5%, users outside CTU: 4.6%
