NASA Developing Mining Robot for Moon, Mars

NASA Developing Mining Robot for Moon, Mars
NASA Developing Mining Robot for Moon, Mars NASA is developing the RASSOR mining robot to collect soil, or regolith, on the moon or Mars so it can be processed into rocket fuel, breathable air and other commodities. By using materials available at other locations in the solar system, astronauts don't have to carry it all from Earth.

Robot catching and Juggling a Ping Pong Ball - Demo This is a video I made as a supplemental to a paper that was accepted to the ICARA 2011 [1]. It the same system that was filmed by GetRobo and uploaded here [2]. This one is more complete and better shows the possibilities of the system. The paper will be available on IEEE Explore.

DARPA Cheetah Sets Speed Record for Legged Robots

DARPA Cheetah Sets Speed Record for Legged Robots
This video shows a demonstration of the "Cheetah" robot galloping at speeds of up to 18 miles per hour (mph), setting a new land speed record for legged robots. The previous record was 13.1 mph, set in 1989.

The robot's movements are patterned after those of fast-running animals in nature. The robot increases its stride and running speed by flexing and un-flexing its back on each step, much as an actual cheetah does.

Testing UDI U818A Quadcopter with Camera My 1st multicopter. I can't fly for sh!t but I just mainly wanted to test the camera. It was better than I expected. Not great, but better than expected. Was not happy about not having audio even if all you could here was the quadcopter. It was definitely fun to fly though.

FPV Racing Mini Quadcopters Advanced Course

FPV Racing Mini Quadcopters Advanced Course
Such a fun day. A small West Devon FPV meet was organised by the guys from BBRC. The location was perfectly suited to this sport with different sections to the garden with mixes of nice long runs, woodland and obstacles.

I have not flown with many other people FPV let alone racing them but I thought this sounded a fun challenge. So I packed the car with all my flying gear and made my way to Bideford to meet the guys.

We managed to get 4 mini quads in the air for a race at one point but other commitments made a few people leave as it was a nice day so that just left 3 of us to have some fun.

I was having major problems on the day with my FPV cam, the lens had become loose in a hard crash from another day and had about .1mm of play which translated to a very blurred and vibrating image which was intermittent but did not stop the day.

This was all for fun and to meet new FPV pilots in the area, it was so nice to meet such a friendly and skilled bunch on the day.

Final Mission at RoboCup German Open 2014 Rescue Robot League competition

Final Mission at RoboCup German Open 2014 Rescue Robot League competition
This video shows the complete final mission of Team Hector Darmstadt at the RoboCup German Open 2014 Rescue Robot League competition. We focus on robot autonomy, so the robot is controlled autonomously whenever possible. The robot has to search for simulated victims (emulated by babydolls and heating pads) and also map QR codes located in the environment. The environment is unknown to the robot, it thus has to perform Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) to localize itself and learn a map of the environment at the same time.

Note that you can switch off annotations if you do not want to see them by clicking on the corresponding icon below the video.

How to get more flying time and fun out of your Heli-Max 1SQ Quadcopter

How to get more flying time and fun out of your Heli-Max 1SQ Quadcopter
The radio that comes with your 1SQ Quadcopter RTF plays a big role in how well it flies. Taking a few minutes to set it up before your first flight will make sure you get more fun from each flight and longer life from your model. Flight veteran Frank Noll explains and demonstrates how low rates and high rates affect the handling of your model, and how to adjust the response within either range to best suit your flying skills.

Heli-Max 1Si Quadcopter Review, Flight Test, & First Impressions

Heli-Max 1Si Quadcopter Review, Flight Test, & First Impressions
The new 1Si with onboard video, sound, and still camera shots is really a neat micro RC quadcopter. The video isn't good at all unless there is good lighting; however, with good lighting the video quality is pretty impressive. The sound works, but, it isn't the best, and you can't hear anything over the noise of the rotor blades when the quad is in the air anyways.

The controls feel a bit 'mushy' to me.

Hawk Attacks Quadcopter!

Hawk Attacks Quadcopter!
On Oct 8th, I was flying my quadcopter at Magazine Beach Park in Cambridge, when a hawk decided he wasn't too happy with my invasion of his airspace...

As far as I could tell, the juvenile red-tailed hawk came out unscathed, and having defeated his prey, was happy to retreat. (As soon as he flew at me, I throttled down the props to try to minimize any harm to the bird.) The quadcopter came out unscathed as well.
