Fwd: [HBRobotics] Telepresence robots for social interaction

---------- Forwarded message ---------
From: Dheera Venkatraman

Hi everyone,
Among the many uses for robots during this pandemic, I think one of
the hugely overlooked use cases is in keeping up mental health of the
community by facilitating human-to-human social interaction. I'm
building a small fleet of mini budget telepresence robots and they're
working pretty well in connecting friends!

They use a Pixel 1 phone for compute (which can be had for <$65
second-hand on eBay) and everything runs from within a HTML5 webpage.
2-way audio/video stream is over WebRTC. Tele-operation is done over
socket.io and the phone communicates to motors via bluetooth to an
ESP32 and a DRV8833.

BTW, my own lab has a hoverboard and a Segway.

I hope you get a chance to ride them!

 Good day! 

This is Emma from Leishen lidar sensor.

We are LIDAR Sensor manufacturers, not only provide lidar sensor, but also the lidar sensor solution.

We have AGV/sevice robotics/ Unmanned forklift/drone lidar surverying solution.

If you have interests in the projects i mentioned, please contact me.

Our LiDAR sensor not only with good performance but also price is very affordable.

Hope to work with you soon.

see picture of our clients.

 

We have Hybrid solid state lidar in batch production, and the mems Lidar will coming soon. (see picture below.)

Hope to have a meeting together and talk about the new requirements for lidar sensor.

We have a colleague based in Paris, so we'd like to pay a visit to you and give a demo show for you.

This picture shows our CH32 hybrid solid state LiDAR Sensor, DF Motor works with us for their autonomous Bus.

This picture shows the DF Motor testing our CH128 LiDAR Sensor.

QUEST FOR ACTUATORS: GOAT Robot Leg Demonstrates Explosive Jumping

“Gearless Omni-directional Acceleration-vectoring Topology.”
GOAT

CMU researchers have developed a new robot leg that delivered 20 joules in jumping experiments, achieving a height of 82 centimeters, or more than double its body height.

They used 3 motors and Gear boxes to make a delta robot capable of Jumping and absorbing the landing.

Peter's wish to have a robot

Anybots Telepresence with me in back in 2013.

One Wheel Balancing Robot , toy

Wow this back wheel is amazing.



I figure out about 5 ways there are to build these and though mechanically this was the most impractical. Still it lives. and when acting like a motor cycle it's super cool.
