Robomagellan - GPS Guided Robot

at 5:30 am. Filed under Complex Hacks, Computer Hacks, Electronic Hacks, Toy Hacks

 

Have a look at Robomagellan from the guys at the Ottawa Robot Enthusiasts. It was inspired by the DARPA Challenge!

Videos after the jump.

"Robots traverse a pre-defined course dealing with various obstacles along the way. Waypoints may be marked with objects that the robot must touch or come within a specified distance. The robots will be guided primarily by GPS and vision systems. Robots will be fully autonomous, but do not necessarily have to be self contained, i.e. it is ok to have a laptop with a wireless or even wired link to the robot."
