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 [...]

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 [...]
