Every starting into an new field is hard work and so all of us are often seraching for first hand information that can guide us into this field. Podcasts are  a new way  to get a starting, but they only can help if they have a certain quality.

The project „Talking Robots“ has definitely a high quality level and presents a wide bandwidth of robotic topics in 45 podcasts.  Each podcast presents one field in that way that one leading expert of that field is interviewed and therefore does the team of the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) archive that the audiences get first hand information and a good starting point for deeper investigations.

Unfortunately has the project finished and no new talks are planned. Link RSS

RobotsBlog is alive

RobotsBlog is a new blog focusing on robot topics. It will included news, discussions, articles, and links around the wide field of robotic and AI.

We, the authors, are an international team of junior researchers and actively involved in robotics. And so we are every day seeing the challenging problems and extreme nice solutions and we will try to share as much as possible with you. Our hope is that this platform will help all of us to sort and structure the wide field of robotics a little bit so that other researchers, students and every interested person can maximize their personal benefit which are archival by robotics.

And now it is time to present you some of our previous work.

The first video is showing some test runs of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle or for short UAV, which is currently tested by the Fraunhofer IAIS.

The second video shows a autonomous ground base robot using its docking station. The robot does base on a ProfiBot system and is searching autonomously for its docking station if it is needed. After finding it is performing a docking maneuver and charges it batteries.

The next video shows some tests results derived from a computer vision system that is used to detected character based landmarks in the environment. This behavior was needed to participated at the SICK robot day 2009 which we succesfully have done.

So thats all for the starting, new updates are coming and we hope to see you soon again.
