James McLurkin - Swarm Disperse Uniformly
These video clips show the disperseUniformly behavior in action. For the keen
of eye, robots that are near walls are flashing their blue light; robots in
the interior are flashing their green light. Part of the really kool

RiSE: The Amazing Climbing Robot
RiSE is a small six-legged robot that climbs vertical terrain such as walls, trees and fences. RiSE's feet have claws, micro-claws or
sticky material, depending on the climbing surface.
BigDog
The Most Advanced Quadruped Robot on Earth. BigDog is the alpha male of the Boston Dynamics
family of robots. It is a quadruped robot that walks, runs, and climbs
on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. See for more.
Keith Rowell's biped robot named Knewt
A short motion sequence with Knewt's head on.
The -Knewt- project, scheduled to last one year, attempts to use servos and microcontrollers and machined
parts to make a biped walking robot.
You can read more about Knewt.
Robonova bipedal battle robot
The Robonova bipedal battle robot is the second generation of the Robo-One design. It has improved
servos, sturdy construction, a lot of style, and vastly improved software and operation. Watching it
move is like experiencing a robot ballet.

Mars Exploration 01:12:00
Mark Maimone giving a lecture on the mars exploration by 4-wheel drive rovers (MER). The
lecture includes an overview of the mars missions (Spirit and Opportunity) , sensors and cameras used
by the rovers, path planning, hazard detection, stereo processing, and visual odometry.
Ends with a lot of images about the rovers prior and during the missions and Q&A.
Mobile Robot Telerobotic Hand Gesture Control about 2 min
Hand gestures are one but a few of the methods used in telerobotic control. This type of communication provides an expressive, natural and intuitive way for humans to
control robotic systems to perform specific tasks.One benefit of such a system is that it is a natural way to send geometrical information to the
robot such as ; left, right, forward and backward hand gestures.
Vision-Based Autonomous Robot Self-Docking and Recharging 2 min 30 sec
This video presents a method for autonomous recharging of a mobile robot, a
necessity for achieving long-term robotic activity without human intervention. A
recharging station is designed consisting of a stationary docking station and
a docking mechanism mounted to an ER-1 Evolution Robotics robot.
