Coming soon - New "mRo Location One" a CAN GPS sensor.

Everyone's Blog Posts - DIY Drones Jan 16, 2020 | 23:32 pm

At mRobotics our commitment continues with the DIY community. From San Diego California we design and manufacture the necessary hardware to build platforms and solutions based on Ardupilot and PX4. And now we show you the next high-tech GPS that has build-in CAN, which includes many and special improvements to achieve maximum accuracy in positioning and guidance for safe navigation.One of them is that we have incorporated the RM3100, a new Geomagnetic Sensor. Like a pair of glasses, the RM3100 Geomagnetic[…]

'PigeonBot' brings aircraft closer to feathered-flight

Robotics News - Robot News, Robotics, Robots, Robotics Sciences Jan 16, 2020 | 20:32 pm

Since the dawn of the aviation era, inventors have strived to build aircraft that fly as nimbly as birds, whose morphable wings allow for faster, tighter turns and more efficient gliding.

Samsung at CES showed its ball-shaped rolling robot that follows you around, beeps and performs tasks as your personal assistant. The company posted a video showing just how Ballie would help out in your home.

3" sub 250 Arducopter microdrone - 28 minutes flight time !

Everyone's Blog Posts - DIY Drones Jan 11, 2020 | 12:14 pm

Research and build for a sub 250 drone capable of running Ardupilot in all of its functions (including autnomous flight) to maximize flight time.Weight minimization is key to maximize flight endurance. Batteries represent the bigger % of total weight in such a build. In order to stay below the 250 grams limit (thank you @!_* regulators), 2S voltage is practically a constraint. Therefore research has to be invested in ESCs and flight controllers able to operate under such small voltage.[…]

PL8: Returning a flying wing from a High Altitude Balloon - first autonomous glide tests

Everyone's Blog Posts - DIY Drones Jan 8, 2020 | 20:30 pm

So, I started this project 2 years ago. Not cutting my hair until i finish it.The High Altitude Balloon Return project aims to return a flying wing autonomously from a 100,000 feet. There's a lot of challenges associated with this. I tried to make my own flight controller in the beginning (Project log 1-6 to see this progress), now I'm using dronekit and Arduplane because someone with an IQ that isnt in the single digits told me I was being[…]

Upgrading this site to Ning 3.0 (beta testers needed!)

Everyone's Blog Posts - DIY Drones Jan 8, 2020 | 01:38 am

Hey, all 91,000 of you! After way too many years of an old-skool design here based on the original Ning network template of 2007, I'm thinking it's time to upgrade to the more modern Ning 3.0 service. It should be much more usable on mobile, big screens and otherwise the responsive, social-friendly platform you'd expect today. It's also an opportunity to clean up the site without losing more than 13 years of content (which is a lot! Millions of pages...). I've[…]

Robotic architecture inspired by pelican eel: Origami unfolding and skin stretching mechanisms

Robotics News - Robot News, Robotics, Robots, Robotics Sciences Jan 6, 2020 | 14:30 pm

Artificial intelligence and robotics architectures are often inspired by patterns occurring in nature, both in humans and animals. Patterns of movement observed in animals have been replicated in robots via a number of shape-changing mechanisms such as chemical swelling, skin stretching or origami morphing.

AVID: a framework to enhance imitation learning in robots

Robotics News - Robot News, Robotics, Robots, Robotics Sciences Jan 3, 2020 | 14:00 pm

In recent years, research teams worldwide have been using reinforcement learning (RL) to teach robots how to complete a variety of tasks. Training these algorithms, however, can be very challenging, as it also requires substantial human efforts in properly defining the tasks that the robot is to complete.
