2005 Session 2

  • Autonomous Hovercraft: An RC hovercraft with mounted web cams that autonomously steered down corridors using different vision algorithms.
  • Gesture Control of Pioneer: A pioneer whose behaviour could be controlled by hand gestures.
  • Hexapod: A six legged walking robot.
  • One Grippered Bandit: A pioneer that searched for, and retrieved, coloured cans.
  • SLAM Comparison: A comparison of two SLAM techniques, DPSLAM and PMAP using Player and the pioneers.
  • SnakeBot: An eleven-segment snake robot that learned to crawl on a treadmill via the application of genetic algorithms.
  • TuxRacer: An RC car fitted with a Linksys NSLU2 board.

2005 Session 1

  • Co-operative Localisation: Two pioneers, one stationary the other moving, used visual tracking to move to a precise location.
  • Gesture Control of Robot Arm: Hand gestures were used to control a robot arm.
  • Micro Camera: A custom-built camera on a pan/tilt unit that could track an object, similar to CMUCam.
  • Obstacle Avoidance: A pioneer navigated the level 3 maze at near-maximum speed.
  • Topological Navigation: A pioneer navigated the level 3 maze using arbitrary signs as location markers.

2004 Session 2

  • Optical flow obstacle avoidance.
  • Localisation in front of goal.
  • Locating landmarks using SLAM.
  • Controlling SCORBOT using gestures.
  • SnakeBot: The first SnakeBot project involved configuring the servos, writing control software and teaching it to crawl via reinforcement learning.

2004 Session 1

  • Blimp tracking: A blimp was visually tracked and controlled to hover above a point.
  • Landmark identification.
  • Obstacle avoidance with Pioneer.
  • Dynamic digital depth?
  • Victim location: A pioneer visually followed a series of markers to a "victim's" location.
  • DraganFlyer: A four-bladed helicopter, fitted with gyros that was made to hover autonomously.

2003 Session 2

  • RC Car: A remote-control car was fitted with IR sensors that would stop the vehicle in case of imminent collision. The car itself was controlled by a tilting interface that could be attached to either the wrist or the head (on a hat).
  • Voice control of Pioneer.
  • Overhead camera on RoboCup field.
  • AIBO localisation without beacons.
  • Visual and laser detection and tracking of AIBO.
  • Pioneer office boy.
