    Autonomous stair climbing for RAPOSA

    Uploaded on Mar 19, 2009

    This video demonstrates an algorithm for the autonomous stair climbing of a tracked robot , using only pitch and roll angles, as measured by accelerometers sensors. A skilled human operator is required to climb stairs manually, therefore, doing so autonomously allows for a more efficient robot operation in search and rescue scenarios. Results have shown that the proposed algorithm was capable of climbing several kinds of stairs. An empirical evaluation comparing the proposed control algorithm with human teleoperation was also conducted, showing an overall more reliable and faster operation in the majority of the tests. This difference is even more significant when the human operator is limited to the camera view of the robot, which is the most common situation on the field.

    SocRob-RAPOSA @ RoboCup GermanOpen 2012

    Published on Apr 26, 2012

    This video shows some footage from the participation of SocRob-RAPOSA team (ISR/IST, Portugal) in the Robot Rescue League of RoboCup GermanOpen 2012 competition (Magdeburg, Germany), 28/Mar - 1/Apr, 2012.

    The robot is fully teleoperated. However, during competition the operator has no direct visual contact with the robot, meaning that the only feedback he receives from the robot comes from the video onboard the robot.
