Technical report summarizing the work of KIEM Spotter

Sinds de zomer heeft het Lectoraat Balanced Energy Systems een nieuwe lector in de persoon van Sadegh Seddighi. SAM, het journalistiek podium van de HAN maakte kennis met hem en sprak hem over zijn ambities en drijfveren als lector vanuit de HAN University of Applied Sciences.

This work describes the design, implementation and validation of an autonomous gas leakage inspection robot. Navigation with centimeter level accuracy is achieved using RTK GNSS integrated using the ROS 2 and Nav2 frameworks. The proposed solution has been validated successfully in terms of navigation …

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.

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.

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

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.
