DARwIn IIIx RoboCup Entrant On Video
October 15th, 2008 by Conner Flynn
The boffins at Virginia Tech’s Robotics & Mechanisms Laboratory are showing off their bot’s latest incarnation, which they hope will lead to a win in the next RoboCup competition. It’s called the DARwIn IIIx, and apparently uses some of the same technology developed for Virgina Tech’s DARPA Urban Challenge entry, called “Odin,”. It’s a complete redesign compared to the previous DARwIn IIx model, with improved range of motion and a bunch of software upgrades that should improve its perception and let it better adapt to things like lighting conditions.
