The ROAR project - robot and drone in collaboration for autonomous refuse handling
Feb 25, 2016
Quote:
Students from three universities have collaborated with the Volvo Group and the waste recycling company, Renova. The result is a robot that automatically collects and empties refuse bins. A drone on the roof of the refuse truck scans the area and assists the robot to find the bins.
The ROAR project, Robot-based Autonomous Refuse handling, is a collaboration between the Volvo Group, Chalmers University of Technology, Mälardalen University, Penn State University in the US, and Renova.
Mälardalen University was responsible for designing the robot itself and Chalmers University of Technology developed the operating system for the robot and the drone. Penn State University developed a web based 3D interface that allows the driver in the cab to have an overview of all the systems and thus able to take control of the robot should it be necessary.

Robot Open Autonomous Racing (ROAR)
February 5, 2021
Quote:
Robot Open Autonomous Racing (ROAR) is a global invitational tournament for robotic autonomous driving initiated by UC Berkeley. The format of the competition is directly matched with Berkeley's AI education courses and degrees. The competition system and results are published on Berkeley's official website to ensure transparency and fairness. It challenges students' comprehensive knowledge and creativity in multiple subjects such as robot control, auto-driving algorithms and racing car exterior design.
