Invited Talk on High Level Robot Development and 3D Simulation
This week I was invited to give a talk to the department of Engineering at the University of Manitoba. The talk was about graphical coding / visual programing of robotic systems and how leveraging the power of these tools can lower development costs and speed up development time. One other benefit of using these tools is students [...]

Integration and Simulation of Whitebox Robotics PC-BOT 914
I am starting on another robotSuite project. We have received a PC-BOT 914 from White Box Robotics and we will fully support this robot in robotSim and robotFoundry. We have already completed a 3D model and I am now starting to do the integration ( writing the low level drivers) of the physical robot with robotFoundry. I plan [...]

Successful Simulation of a Humanoid Robot (More Fun with PhysX Joints and Transforms )
Today, I finally managed to get a 22 DOF humanoid robot simulated in robotSim. Man what a lot of work. I really thought it would have taken a lot less time, but thats how it goes. Most of the problems were with Unity’s lack of documentation on configurable joints. I had to really understand the [...]
