Robotic Technology

As part of the development process for a variety of robotic missions, the Lab has developed a variety of technical systems that are freely available for non-commercial use by students and researchers.  Distribution, adaptation and use of this technology is governed by the General Public License.

Technologies include:

  • NETROL internet-based robotic piloting software architecture.
  • RACE internet-based communications equipment control software architecture.
  • ROVNet internet-based command and data-handling architecture for tethered robots.
  • PIC-based microcontrollers and software libraries for distributed command and data handling systems.
  • Atmel-based microcontrollers and software libraries.
  • Vision-based position sensing system (available in Fall 2003).
  • Matlab-based toolbox for advanced robotic manipulator analysis (available in Fall 2003).
  • Matlab-based toolbox for anomaly management (available in Fall 2003).
  • Open Source Satellite archives with documentation, mechanical/electronic CAD fabrication files, software libraries, BOMs, test/verification protocols, etc. for simple university-class small satellites (available in Fall 2003).

For information on access to and use of these technologies, please contact Prof. Kitts.
