Hubo

Recently I started working on a new project that is focused on competing in the new Darpa  Robot Challenge. The robot that we will be using for that challenge is Hubo (shown in picture). For the challenge the humanoid robot is going to have to do some pretty incredible tasks (e.g. drive a vehicle, move rubble, break through walls, etc.) Watch the video below to get an idea.

Also, check out our Hubo cutting through a wall via teleoperation at http://vimeo.com/57600990

As you can see the website is getting an overhaul. Looks pretty good, right?!?! I can’t take credit for the awesome banner image above. That is courtesy of Paul Huckfeldt.

Got the Pi all set up. About to install ROS on it.
