 Kévin Drapel and I worked on a modular robots during a semester project at EPFL. If you like robotics, have a look at our project web page which contains pictures, videos and the final report.
We decided to continue to work on this project this semester. You will add new features to our Java software used to control the modular robot and build more units.

The Biologically Inspired Robotics Group (BIRG) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) is working on modular robotics. Computer simulations are mainly used but prototypes also exist. Most of them are controlled by a wired connection. This project aimed at finding how the wires could be replaced by a Bluetooth connection on the YaMoR robot units. Wireless communication allows better freedom of movements and ease of use. Although complete autonomous unit is the final aim, a centralised Java application is used to control every module. |
