A mobile robot is an automatic machine that is capable of locomotion. [1] Mobile robotics is usually considered to be a subfield of robotics and information engineering. [2] Mobile robots have the capability to move around in their environment and are not fixed to one physical location.
A PatrolBot in 2006. PatrolBot is a programmable autonomous general purpose service robot rover built by Mobile Robots Inc. PatrolBots are manufactured in various configurations and serve as bases for companies developing delivery robots, security robots, environmental monitoring rovers, robot guides, and other indoor service robots.
One of the first international projects regarding swarm robotics was the SWARM-BOTS project funded by the European Commission between 2001 and 2005, in which a swarm of up to 20 of robots capable of independently physically connect to each other to form a cooperating system were used to study swarm behaviors such as collective transport, area ...
Nvidia is diving deeper into the robotics game with the debut of a new foundation model for humanoid robots dubbed Project GR00T.A foundation model is a type of AI system trained on massive ...
The Front-end Robotics Enabling Near-term Demonstration (FREND, a play on friend) is a DARPA project "aiming to create a fully autonomous docking capability for satellites that weren't built to be serviced", currently under testing at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory Spacecraft Engineering Department.
The Denning Mobile Robot Company of Boston was the first company to offer ready-made autonomous robots that were subsequently purchased primarily by researchers. Grinnell More's Real World Interface, Inc. (RWI) and James Slater's Nomadic Technologies (), along with Francesco Mondada's K-Team (Switzerland), were other pioneering companies in this field, addressing the need for ready-made robots ...
The Mobile Robot Programming Toolkit (MRPT) is a cross-platform software C++ library for helping robotics researchers design and implement algorithms related to simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), computer vision, and motion planning (obstacle avoidance). Different research groups have employed MRPT to implement projects reported in ...
