Technical-Perception: Víctor Rodríguez

This challenge focuses on domestic service robots. The project aims robots with enhanced networking and cognitive abilities. They will be able to perform socially useful tasks such as supporting the impaired and the elderly (one of the main goal of our group).
 
  
−
In the initial stages of the competition individual robots will begin by overcoming basic individual tasks, such as navigation through the rooms of a house, manipulating objects or recognizing faces, and then coordinate to handle house-keeping tasks simultaneously, some of them in natural interaction with humans.

−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
==== Hardware Preparation  ====
 
−
----
 
−
We need to make some initial tasks to fulfill the basic hardware setup, configuration, and customization of the robot.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
;Task 1
 
−
: Get power from roomba brush (It is going to be used in the arm )
 
−

;Task 2
 
−
: Emergency Stop Button

====Software Preparation====
 
−
----
 
−
 
 
−
====Environment setup====
 
−
 
 
−
We are going to define the basis of the system to be deployed.
 
−
 
 
−
* Operative System : [http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop Ubuntu 12.04 LTS]
 
−
* Software Restriction : [http://wiki.ros.org/fuerte/Installation/Ubuntu ROS Fuerte]
 
−
* Core drivers for Roomba : [[HowToInstallRoombaPackage | How to install roomba package]]
 
−
 
 
−
====Packages search====
 
−
 
 
−
We use ROS so we can find at least a package for each ability ready to deploy in a robot. In this way, this task involves search and test each package to evaluate if we are able to deploy in our platform.

Project Summary

This challenge focuses on domestic service robots. The project aims to create robots with enhanced networking and cognitive abilities. They should be able to perform useful tasks such as helping the impaired and the elderly (one of the main goals of our group).

In the initial stages of the competition, individual robots will begin by overcoming basic individual tasks, such as navigating through the rooms of a house, manipulating objects or recognizing faces, and then coordinating to handle house-keeping tasks simultaneously, some of them under natural interaction with humans.
