Poznań University of Technology Explores AI & Robotics in Space Research
With robotics and AI making its way into every field, space exploration is no exception. Rovers, landers and other space vehicles are deployed for surface exploration of planets and other celestial bodies to make observations. Not only do these devices collect... read more
Fukushima’s Ripple Effect: EURATHLON
The Fukushima disaster was tragic, yet motivating. It catapulted the robotics world into disaster-response scenarios and ignited a sense of urgency to create autonomous, intelligent systems for rugged, hazardous environments. Spinning from this new found inspiration... read moreClearpath Robotics Drives Robot with Arm Motion

Myo, ROS, and Robots
Ever since we loaned Thalmic Labs our first Grizzly prototype to make some early demos for their launch video, we’ve been eagerly following their progress. There’s obviously a lot of interesting applications for using the Myo for robot control, and our... read more
Autonomous Navigation to the Winner’s Circle: AGVC 2013
Husky is autonomous and made for rugged environments, so it only made sense that Dr. Mark Whitty’s team at UNSW Australia (University of New South Whales) entered their integrated Husky system into the 1st Annual Autonomous Ground Vehicle Competition (AGVC) in... read more
Introducing ROS for MATLAB
Clearpath Robotics recently tested the capabilities of the ROS for MATLAB toolkit (available here: robot-operating-system.html). This is very interesting for the research and education fields, as it will allow users to take their existing MATLAB code and use it on a... read more
Robot Used for Lifesaving Humanitarian Research in Minesweeping
Clearpath robots automate dull, dirty and dangerous jobs, and University of Coimbra is using Husky with no exception to this vision. The team is researching and developing new methods for autonomous landmine clearance and we were thrilled to present them with the... read more
ROS 101: Practical Example
In the previous ROS 101 post, we provided a quick introduction to ROS to answer questions like What is ROS? and How do I get started? Now that you understand the basics, here’s how they can apply to a practical example. Follow along to see how we actually... read more
