RoboDog
In mobile robotics, there have been major developments in recent years with regard to so-called "legged robots". These are used to operate in a wide variety of terrain such as forest floors, snow-covered areas or through damaged and collapsing buildings. In order to convey this technology to students in a practical way, this project will develop and build a basic platform in the form of robot dogs, which will serve as the basis for courses and student projects.
The commissioning of four robot dogs is planned for use in courses and lectures in order to be able to hold competitions between different student groups and to enable future projects in the field of swarm intelligence. The robot dogs are to be expandable with sensors and actuators and compatible with the Robot Operating System (ROS). Methods from the field of artificial intelligence, e.g. for path planning and independent navigation with object recognition and obstacle avoidance are to be developed and tested on this platform.
