Robots in Our Lab

Erratic mobile robot

Part of my graduate work at UCSB has been setting up a multi-robot test bed for experiments and testing of algorithms developed in our lab. Currently, our main testbed consists of three Erratic mobile robots from Videre Design with Hokuyo URG laser rangefinders. All of our research robots run Ubuntu linux and we use Player/Stage both for simulations and controlling the hardware.

Through undergraduate projects, we are also building a team of custom robots to compete in RoboCup at some point in the future.
