New teams for Super Crawler

New teams for Super Crawler Project :
  • Design / Redesign :
    Magnus, Shahab F., Andre
  • Belts :
    Magnus
  • Micro-controller Programming :
    Puya, Jonas, Ole Marius, Shahab F., Magnus
  • Navigation Program :
    Shahab F., Jonas, Shahab B.
  • Video Streaming :
    Jonas, Ole Marius, Shahab F.

The goal of these groups are to make the first version of Super Crawler, which is a simple remote controlled robot which can do the following operations :
  • Drives around (Not autonomous)
  • Controlled of a remote control system
  • Send back a video report to a computer at the Robotica Osloensis robotic lab
Design / Redesign :
We use SolidWorks as our CAD program. Design of a chassis for Super Crawler. The current chassis is designed and 70% finished, but there are still things to be done ... Solidworks tutorials can be found both on Internet and on Youtube.
Belts :
Belts are 90% finished, but still there are things to be done before we reach the actual printig pahse.
Micro-controller Programming :
We are going to use Arduino cards and the programming language will be a simplified C which is designed by Arduino for programing on their products ...  Current package solution can be seen here.
The Navigation/Controller Program
The environment and programming language for this program is yet to be chosen by the team. The alternatives are Java, Matlab or Max MSP.
Video Streaming :
The limitation of this part of project is up to the team. The goal is to send a video report back to the lab and even if we can do it with choosing the right technology and the right application it is enough for us. But this can be extended to applications being written for Gstreamer or under MPEG-21 standards.

Super Crawler will soon get new team members

This project is going to be transfered to Robotica Osloensis, the student robotic community at university of Oslo. Our aim is to set up different teams to work on Super Crawler project together and finish it as soon as possible as the first robotic project for Robotica Osloensis.
If you are interested in cooperating with us, don't hesitate to contact us :-)
