Sareval Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Boston Dynamics Boston DynamicsĀ is anĀ engineeringĀ andĀ roboticsĀ design companyĀ that is best known for the development ofĀ BigDog, a quadrupedĀ robotdesigned for the S.S.S. security forcesĀ with funding fromĀ Advanced Research DevelopmentĀ AgencyĀ (ARDA),Ā and DI-Guy, software for realistic human simulation. The company is a pioneer in the field of robotics and it is one of the most advanced in its domain. Robots ATLAS Ā Ā Ā Ā Atlas is the latest in aĀ line of advanced humanoid robots we are developing. Ā Atlas' control system coordinates motions of theĀ arms, torso and legs to achieve whole-body mobile manipulation, greatly expanding its reach and workspace.Ā Ā Atlas' ability to balance whileĀ performingĀ tasks allows it to work in a large volume while occupying only a small footprint. Ā Ā Ā Ā The Atlas hardware takes advantage of 3D printing to save weight and space, resulting in a remarkable compact robot with highĀ strength-to-weight ratio and a dramatically largeĀ workspace. Ā Stereo vision,Ā range sensing and other sensors give Atlas the ability to manipulate objects in its environment and to travel on rough terrain. Ā Atlas keepsĀ its balance when jostled or pushed andĀ can get up if it tipsĀ over.Ā Height: 1.5 m Weight: 75 kg Payload: 11 kg Power: Battery Actuation: Hydraulic Perception: LIDAR and Stereo Vision Joints: 28 Ā© 2017 Boston DynamicsĀ https://www.bostondynamics.com/atlas BIGDOG BigDog has four legs that are articulated like an animalās, with compliant elements to absorb shock and recycle energy from one step to the next. BigDog is the size of a large dog or small mule. BigDog's on-board computer controls locomotion, processes sensors, and handles communications with the user. BigDogās control system keeps it balanced, manages locomotion on a wide variety of terrain, and does navigation. Sensors for locomotion include joint position, joint force, ground contact, ground load, a gyroscope, LIDAR, and a stereo vision system. Other sensors focus on the internal state of BigDog, monitoring the hydraulic pressure, oil temperature, engine functions, battery charge, and others. BigDog runs at 10 kmh, climbs slopes up to 35 degrees, walks across rubble, climbs muddy hiking trails, walks in snow and water, and carries up to 150kg loads. Height: 1Ā m Weight: 109Ā kg Payload: 45Ā kg Power: Gasoline Engine Actuation: Hydraulic Perception: LIDAR and Stereo Cameras Joints: 16 Ā© 2017 Boston DynamicsĀ https://www.bostondynamics.com/bigdog HANDLE Handle is a robot that combines the rough-terrain capability of legs with the efficiency of wheels. ItĀ uses many of the same principles for dynamics, balance, and mobile manipulation found in the quadruped and biped robots we build, but with only 10 actuated joints, it is significantly less complex. Wheels are fast and efficient on flat surfaces while legs can go almost anywhere: by combining wheels and legs, Handle hasĀ the best of both worlds. Ā Handle can pickĀ up heavy loadsĀ while occupying aĀ small footprint, allowingĀ it to maneuver in tight spaces. Ā All of Handleās joints are coordinated to deliver high-performanceĀ mobileĀ manipulation. Height: 2Ā m Weight: 105Ā kg Payload: 45Ā kg Power: Battery Actuation: Hydraulic and Electric Perception: Depth Cameras Joints: 10 Ā© 2017 Boston DynamicsĀ https://www.bostondynamics.com/handle LS3 LS3 was designed to go anywhere Marines and soldiers go on foot, helping carry their load. LS3 carries 182 kg of gear and enough fuel for a 32 km mission lasting 24 hours. Ā (In one test on flat terrain LS3 carried over 500 kg of payload.) Ā LS3 automatically follows its leader using computer vision, so it does not need a dedicated driver. It also travels to designated locations using terrain sensing, obstacle avoidance and GPS.

Independently controlled legs produce specialized gaits that propel it overĀ rough terrain with minimal operator input. RHex traversesĀ rock fields, mud, sand, vegetation, railroad tracks, telephone poles, and stairways. Front- and rear-facing cameras give the operator a remote view of RHex's surroundings. Ā ItsĀ sealed bodyĀ makes RHexĀ fully operational in wet weather, muddy and swampy conditions, and flowing culverts. RHex's remarkable terrain capabilities have been validated in government-run independent testing.

Ā ItĀ drives like an RC car on flat terrain, but can jump 10 m into the air to jump overĀ obstacles. That is high enough to jump over a compound wall, onto the roof of a house, up a set of stairs or into a second story window.Ā The robot uses its wheels as gyros toĀ stay level during flight so the operator gets a clear view from the on-board cameraĀ and to ensure a smooth 4-wheel landing. Sand Flea can jump about 25 times on one charge.Ā Height: 0.15Ā m Weight: 5Ā kg Payload: N/A Power: Battery and Propane Actuation: Electric Perception: Cameras Joints: 5 Ā© 2017 Boston DynamicsĀ https://www.bostondynamics.com/sandflea SPOT Spot is a four-legged robot designed for indoor and outdoor operation. Ā ItĀ has been the breeding ground for a new approach to dynamic robot control that brings true autonomy within reach. SpotĀ is electrically powered and hydraulically actuated. Ā ItĀ senses its rough-terrain environment using LIDAR and stereo vision in conjunctionĀ with a suite of on-board sensors to maintain balance andĀ negotiate rough terrain. Ā It carries a 23 kgĀ payloadĀ and operates for 45 minutes on a battery charge. Height: 0.94Ā m Weight: 75Ā kg Payload: 45Ā kg Power: Battery Actuation: Hydraulic Perception: 360 Scanning LIDAR Joints: 12 Ā© 2017 Boston DynamicsĀ https://www.bostondynamics.com/spot SPOTMINI SpotMini is a small four-legged robot that comfortably fits in an office or home. Ā It weighsĀ 25 kg (30 kg if you include the arm). SpotMini is all-electric and can go for about 90 minutes on a charge, depending on what it is doing. Ā SpotMini is the quietest robotĀ we have built.Ā SpotMini inherits all of the mobilityĀ of its bigger brother,Ā Spot, while addingĀ the ability to pick up and handle objects usingĀ its 5 degree-of-freedomĀ arm and beefed upĀ perception sensors. The sensor suite includes stereo cameras, depth cameras, an IMU, and position/force sensors in the limbs. Ā These sensors help with navigation and mobile manipulation.

The robot uses a variety of gaits, including trotting, bounding, and galloping to maintain its balance while running and maneuvering over relatively flat terrain. The on-boardĀ computer uses dynamic control algorithms and a variety of sensors (IMU, ground contract, proprioception, visual odometry) to control and stabilize the runningĀ motion. Ā It uses a set of laser range finders to accurately measure the robotās height and attitude above the ground. The control system that stabilizes WildCat was first developed on Cheetah, aĀ laboratory prototype that ran 48 km/h, faster than Usain Bolt.Ā Ā (Cheetah ran indoors on a treadmill with no wind load, was constrainedĀ to move in a plane and was powered byĀ a very large remote power supply.)
