Daryl

Designed for expressive human-robot interaction, Daryl has a 4 dof neck mechanism, a 2 dof expression modality, a 2 dof laser pointing device, a 2 dof differential drive, and the option to carry a manipulator. It accomodates two SICK laser scanner, 2 cameras, bumpers and wheel encoders, an industry standard embedded system with an RTOS and a C++ API, made for fully autonomous operation under real-world conditions.

Spencer

Developed for the European research project of the same name, this 250kg, 1.95m tall robot is capable of safely navigating highly dynamic and crowded spaces. Deployed at the airside terminal building of the Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, its task was to guide delayed transfer passengers to their gate of departure. The robot is equipped with 4x RGB-D cameras, 2x SICK LiDARs, five computing units, a boarding card reader, and a charming appearance.

Not yet described here: Baxter, PR2, and the two Panda arms. We are in the processing of acquiring a Boston Dynamics Spot. Stay tuned!
