Modern robotic algorithms and systems frequently lack the robustness required to operate reliably in unknown environments. Visual systems cannot always perform reliably in unstructured environments such as forests due to highly repetitive patterns or occlusion. The... read more
As we know well, the robotics industry is growing every year and producing more and more advanced solutions for a spectrum of industries. Today robots have saved lives by taking on dangerous environments; they clean radioactive areas, explore mines, and gather data... read more
Innovators, top executives and some of the world’s most recognized companies gather each year to celebrate the Edison Awards. This year, we were honored to join this acclaimed group at Navy Pier in Chicago, and were even more excited to be announced the Silver winner... read more
We’re on the road again, and this time we’re heading to Germany – land of Oktoberfest, birthplace of Heinrich Hertz, primary fanbase for ‘The Hoff’ and, more importantly, this year’s meeting place for ICRA and ROScon. We’ll start our visit at the IEEE... read more
Clearpath is always playing with new ways to control our robots. Recently, I bought a Galaxy S3, in part because of the ROS Teleop example application available on the Android Market. This app was originally put together very quickly by Willow Garage to control the... read more
This year, we launched an all-new version of our Kingfisher surface vessel. Like many ROS robots, its onboard linux PC is supplemented with a microcontroller, which handles low-level tasks like monitoring ADCs and driving motors. When prototyping the new Kingfisher we... read more
In April, the NASA-funded HI-SEAS (Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation) study will begin at ~8500 feet on the Big Island of Hawaii. Chosen for their “astronaut-like” attributes – we assume “being awesome” was a key requirement – six volunteer... read more
Have you ever wished you could order your TurtleBots from within Europe but still have the comfort of knowing that the entire Clearpath Robotics team is standing by to help with technical support? Well now you can. The ever popular TurtleBot is now available directly... read more
Clearpath’s excitement about robots and growth in the industry hasn’t changed since our beginning in 2009. Our passion has translated into early and continued success; unfortunately other Canadian companies in the industry haven’t mirrored this upward trend. Of... read more
