In this sensor spotlight we’ll dive into the features and capabilities of the Xsens Vision Navigator (XVN) from Movella. The XVN is a GNSS based visual-inertial localization sensor that can be integrated on any of Clearpath’s robots to provide a full 3D state estimate... read more
The Nuclear and Applied Robotics Group, based in the University of Texas at Austin, has a mission to “develop and deploy advanced robotics in hazardous environments to minimize risk for the human operator.” The group, represented by Andy Zelenak (Postdoc) and... read more
In the previous article VT&R Part 1, we introduced Visual Teach and Repeat Technology and gave a insight into software highlights and its ease of use. In part 2, we will be looking into what makes VT&R different, potential applications and robot... 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
