In recent years, there has been remarkable growth in the field of robotics and automation, offering exciting possibilities that could transform our work processes. Simultaneously, the growing field of human-robot interaction (HRI) has gained widespread interest,... read more
It’s been another successful quarter of building and shipping robots here at Clearpath, and what better way to celebrate than to hold a holiday hack day! Battery upgrades, wireless charging, brushless motor drivers, and a stereo cam with a synched pan-tilt-roll unit... read more
(Cont’d) Track A teams that will be competing at the DRC Trials Dec 20-21, 2013 have received some funding to get them to this phase. We’ve covered Hubo, RoboSimian, and HRP-2, now meet the remaining three teams in this division: Carnegie Mellon University... read more
The DARPA Robotics Challenge is coming up fast and we’ll be there to give you the scoop! Track A Teams had a 15 month timeline (Oct 2012 Kickoff to Dec 2013 DRC Trials) to design and build their bots. Each team has taken different approaches to grind through the... read more
It’s the gathering place for leading robotics researchers. It’s the breeding ground for next-gen robotics innovations. It’s the one place on this planet that you will see seven ALTAS robots in one location running a course. It’s the DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC)... read more
We’ve just shipped off another pack of Grizzly’s to some leading edge roboticists and we can’t wait to learn what they do with it! But first, they’ll have to open the crate to release the beast before driving forward with their field research. It’s a fairly simple... read more
