Foldable Robotic Arm for Quadcopters

 

 

The Aerial Unmanned Robotic Arm with Storage (AURAS) system enhances UAV functionality in agriculture by integrating a lightweight, foldable robotic arm with onboard storage, addressing payload and flight duration challenges. Advanced robotic technologies enable precise object manipulation, improving productivity. Kinematic analysis ensures effective performance, while the design optimizes weight and compactness using a single actuator. Additive manufacturing with Nylon carbon fiber 12 and Onyx enhances structural integrity. Metamaterial structures with high strength-to-weight ratios are applied to the frame and landing gear, minimizing system weight and advancing UAV capabilities for precision agriculture.

Dog Robot for Security and Surveillance

 

The GO2 EDU Plus dog robot is a versatile mobile platform. This robot, weighing 15 kg, has a 10 kg payload and a battery life of 2-4 hours. It supports various sensors, including 3D LIDAR, depth, and thermal cameras, and can reach speeds of up to 5 km/h while navigating challenging terrains like stairs. Its advanced capabilities in navigation, mapping, and object detection ensure high reliability and autonomy. 

 

 

The project leverages 3D XT16 LIDAR and Astra depth cameras for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) within a ROS framework. By integrating these advanced sensors, the system achieves high accuracy in navigating and mapping its surroundings.

 

The system integrates high-precision thermal and RGB cameras with machine learning algorithms, employing YOLOv8 for advanced real-time object detection and classification using combined RGB and thermal imagery. This setup enables the robot to distinguish between individuals, significantly improving security through intelligent and autonomous surveillance.
