Infrastructure
The I.P.AN. research group operates a range of robotic platforms, haptic devices and experimental systems used in research on robotics, intelligent systems, perception and human–machine interaction.
Infrastructure
A quadcopter equipped with a HD camera (720p, 30fps), powered by four brushless motors (14.5 W, 28500 RPM), and controlled by a 1 GHz 32-bit ARM Cortex A8 processor.
It includes sensors such as a 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis magnetometer, and ultrasound sensors.
Two sets of LEGO robotics kits used to build and program robots with an icon-based programming interface.
Each set includes a programmable brick controller, building elements, motors, and multiple sensors.
A haptic robotic mechanism allowing users to feel forces inside a virtual environment.
Equipped with three DC motors, producing forces up to 8.5 N within a workspace of about 10 × 10 × 10 cm, with position resolution of 400 dpi.
Six small differential-drive robots used in robotics experiments and multi-robot systems research.
Equipped with wheel encoders, omnidirectional SONAR, piezo buzzer, AmigoOS firmware and Pioneer SDK robotics development software. Robots can operate via tether or wirelessly from a computer.
Two differential-drive mobile robots equipped with front SONAR sensors, wheel encoders and a microcontroller supporting digital and analog inputs and expansion ports.
Each robot also includes a color camera and Laser Mapping & Navigation accessory package for robotics research and autonomous navigation.
A differential-drive robotic platform designed for service robotics and human-interaction experiments.
It includes bumper elements, SONAR arrays and IR break beams for obstacle detection. With the Laser Mapping & Navigation system, PeopleBot can map buildings and localize while navigating inside mapped environments.
