In a particularly exciting month, Clearpath Robotics by Rockwell Automation made a mark at three robotics conferences, each providing a distinct platform for innovation and the exchange of collaborative ideas. Starting off strong, we exhibited at the IEEE/RSJ... read more
Happy Birthday Clearpath!! We are officially 5 years old and what better way to celebrate than let all of our fans drive a robot. No matter where you are in the world, you can experience what it’s like to drive Husky – well, a very mini, hacked-together Husky... read more
The Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition is held every year for robotics teams to design and build autonomous – wait for it – ground vehicles, capable of completing a variety of challenges. Each summer some of the best university teams around the globe flock to... read more
Local path planning is an integral part of robotics and there are numerous methods for achieving this. One such method is the Vector Field Histogram (VFH). The main idea behind this method of navigation is that through the robot’s sensors, it is able to detect... read more
Reposted with permission from IEEE Spectrum. Original post available here. No matter how much time and energy and money we put into a robot, it’s going to be a very very very long time before we come up with anything that’s anywhere close to as capable as... read more
What do Grizzly, Husky and Kingfisher all have in common? They all started as an idea. And who helps to bring our bots from a sketch on a whiteboard to the real deal? No other than Clearpath’s design team. To learn more about what really goes on before robots hit... read more
Minesweeping is incredibly time-intensive and dangerous; it’s estimated that over 20 thousand people lose their lives in mine-related accidents each year. With statistics such as this, it’s no wonder robots haven’t been used in mine detecting scenarios sooner. To... read more
Clearpath is thrilled to announce that we’re providing an award of $10,000 – in collaboration with EURATHLON – toward the purchase of a Kingfisher Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) for teams competing in this years’ EURATHLON competition! This award will give... read more
As you can imagine, the business of manufacturing robots can be unique – things aren’t always cheap, or always on time, or painted just the right shade of yellow. But! With a stellar Supply Chain Manager like Ryan, we’re able to get the job done with efficiency and... read more
