Robotics

The Robotics Hall contains the Robotics and Vision platforms:

Current Platforms

Barakuda vehicle

Barakuda (Shark Robotics)

Loaned as part of the MOBILEX Challenge, Shark Robotics’ Barakuda robotic platform is an electric all-terrain vehicle with four controllable drive wheels. Equipped by us with various sensors (lidar, radar, cameras, inertial measurement unit, GPS, etc.) and onboard computing capabilities (GPUs), this robot uses our Bayesian perception and navigation software to move autonomously in complex, unstructured environments. Experiments are primarily conducted on a dedicated test site behind the Inria center in Montbonnot.
Team project Chroma

UR-5e robotic arm

UR-5e (Universal Robot)

This experimental platform consists of a robotic arm and its universal gripper, designed for machine learning to grasp objects or to generate motion paths in collaboration with a human operator.
It is intended for research in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence.

Previous platforms

Zoe Renault car

Zoe car (Renault)

This platform is a standard electrical car equipped with various sensors (rangefinders laser, inertial measurement unit (IMU), a GPS and a stereo camera). The car can be controlled (steering, braking, acceleration). It is used to carry out driving assistance experiments.
Team project Chroma

Lexus car

Lexus car (Toyota)

This platform is a standard hybrid car equipped with various sensors (rangefinders laser, inertial measurement unit (IMU), a GPS and a stereo camera). It’s used to make acquisitions sensors in urban zones, on road network. She allows to lead experiments on the means of perceptions, analyses of road scenesand decision, intended for the systems of assistant to the driving.

chaise

Electrical Wheelchair

Motorized wheelchair allowing the autonomous movement of a person. This robot can embark up to 3 rangefinders lasers, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and visual sensors (cameras) or depth (kinect / swissranger). This platform is particularly adapted to the perception and the navigation in human environment, in particular in buildings.
