This setup manual is meant to build the hardware for the CHARISMA setup, which contains the SPOT robot, backpack + GPS, gas sensor and beacon. The CHARISMA Demo Manual (KP01) will help to understand how to use software with the setup for autonomous exploration.

In this document you can find the code repository for the backpack.

In this document we present information about a test that we made to test SPOT with the RTK-GNSS and ROS2.

The purpose of this report is to present the results of the test that we made to see whether we can reliably test at Alliander site.

Within our research on robotic gas detection, we have focused on making a prototype based on Boston Dynamics SPOT, because it takes a lot of difficulties out of prototyping. For instance, it has its own obstacle avoidance algorithm, good drivers are available for ROS2, and SPOT is meant for outdoor …

The objective of this report is to share the results of the test that we have made to evaluate the localization performance of the Spot robot across three scenarios, each featuring different velocities in both translation and rotation.

RTK-GNSS (Real Time Kinematic - Global Navigation Satellite System) is based on a ‘rover’ GNSS antenna that receives error correction information from a ‘base’ GNSS antenna. While the rover can be placed on a robot to move around, the base station has the additional ‘knowledge’ of being stationary. …

Sound Soils is a practice-oriented research initiative aimed at exploring opportunities for musicians to contribute to rural life in the Northern Netherlands, with a specific emphasis on participatory music practices. Grounded in Participatory Action Research methodology and ethnographic forms of data …

Children with developmental language disorders (DLDs) may experience barriers to communicative participation. Communicative participation is defined as ‘participation in life situations in which knowledge, information, ideas or feelings are exchanged’. Barriers experienced in communicative participation …

Als je als boer goed voorbereid bent op de toekomst en hier een duidelijke visie op hebt, helpt dit dat je niet verrast wordt door risico’s en effecten van extreme weersomstandigheden. Dit biedt zeker kansen ten opzichte van andere ondernemers die geen voorbereidingen treffen. Linda Snippe, onderzoeker …
