In the ever-evolving landscape of renewable energy, the efficiency and longevity of solar panel installations are crucial for maximizing their contribution to a sustainable future. Imagine robots navigating through expansive solar panel fields, equipped with advanced... read more
Rethink Robotics and Clearpath Robotics have teamed up to bring together their Sawyer Software Development Kit (SDK) and Clearpath’s Ridgeback mobile platform, to allow for greater freedom of mobility. This partnership allows researchers to further explore robotic... read more
Last month, we introduced the GPS Waypoint Navigation package, which is the ability to provide a robot with a set of GPS waypoints (i.e., a set of latitude / longitude pairs), and have the robot autonomously navigate from its current location to each of the defined... read more
Clearpath has developed a new ROS driver for FLIR vision cameras. The driver is compatible with both USB3 and GIGE cameras that use the new Spinnaker Software Development Kit, including the Oryx, Blackfly, Chameleon3, Flea3 and Grashopper3 models. The new driver aims... read more

The team of researchers from the U.S Army, Research, Development and Engineering Command Research Laboratory and the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University have created a new technique that teaches robots, “Novel traversal behaviors with minimal human... read more
This project originated in the Robotics Research Centre of Nanyang Technology University (NTU) located in Singapore. Both faculty members and PhD students are involved with many aspects of robotics in areas of healthcare, environment and construction. With increased... read more
For outdoor robotics, one of the key capabilities for autonomous use-cases is GPS Waypoint Navigation. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, GPS Waypoint Navigation is the ability to provide a robot with a set of GPS waypoints (i.e., a set of latitude / longitude... read more
One of the most common things to do with a new robot is enable autonomy, or at least get started on it with Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). For years, the easiest way to do this in ROS has been to utilize the open source Gmapping package, a ROS wrapper... read more
