The adoption of robotics and automation systems for inspection, maintenance and repair of facilities is becoming more prevalent. The application is especially valuable when used in inspection of net zero energy generation infrastructure. As the world faces a climate... read more
As a field robotics company, Clearpath Robotics loves using GPS systems! However, ROS does not yet provide an effective method of incorporating GPS measurements into robots. A natural place to start incorporating GPS is in the navigation stack, specifically... read more
Posted via Proto3000, July 9, 2013 The Department of Brain Science and Engineering at the Kyushu Institute of Technology in Japan has made a new innovation through brain-inspired robotics. They’ve managed to bridge brain science with engineering to create... read more
ROS is incredibly important to us and we have championed it since its beginning. In fact, all of our robots are ROS-compatible, so when we heard about the ROS Summer School happening July 22-August 2 at FH Aachen in Germany, we jumped at the opportunity to get... read more
At Clearpath Robotics, we learn something new every day, even if it’s old! We’re a high-tech company, with high-tech gadgets, and high-tech robots. That being said, as technology continues to advance, it can be easy to lose appreciation for the level of complexity in... read more
Post via CitizenTekk, June 2013 We all know of Rosey the Robot Maid from the Jetsons; the outspoken robotic housekeeper with the frilly apron who rolls around on caster wheels. The notion of robotic butlers or maids is not revolutionary, but the fact that they are... read more
We’re unleashing the robots this weekend at (arguably) the ‘Greatest Show and Tell on Earth’! The Maker Faire is coming to Kitchener-Waterloo (Canada’s silicon-valley) on Saturday June 15th from 10am-10pm to showcase invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and... read more
The Worchester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) is hosting NASA’s Sample Return Robot Challenge June 4-9 for the second year in a row. The challenge is part of NASA’s Centennial Challenge series where participants design a robot that, in a set amount of time, can navigate... read more
Tracking ground vehicles indoors can be tricky business. Unlike a tiny quadrotor that is easily thwarted by a net, a runaway Husky can go through such barriers with ease. That’s why reliable indoor positioning is important for us at Clearpath Robotics. Why OptiTrack?... read more
