Robotics


The following robots have been developed by GKDesign over the past 7 years. We will be keeping regular updates of the Biped, CURI-5 and CURI-3 during their development cycles. We hope you find some of the information presented here useful in your robot construction projects. We welcome any questions you may have about our robots or robot design issues in general.

BIPED: The two legged walker is the latest robot built by GKDesign for the University of NSW Artificial Intelligence Lab. With phase-1 finished the research being headed by Graham Mann will be carried out over the next 2 years.

CURI-5: Is also currently being developed. You can follow the progress of the design and construction of this robot in the CURI-5 Journal. This is a small mobile robot equipped with a small camera and grippers. It is the next evolutionary step from CURI-4.

CURI-4: Is a small mobile robot equipped with a tiny B&W CCD camera and a pair of grippers for picking up objects. This robot has been successful in achieving its research goals, and has proven to be useful in a rather unique application. (CURI vs. Cat).

CURI-3: Is a medium sized fully autonomous mobile robot with movable stereoscopic cameras. It was also developed for the University of NSW AI Lab. It is currently being used by several Ph.D. students for their robot vision research. CURI-3 has been operating in this role for the past 5 years.

CURI-2: Was a small mobile robot used as the basis of a thesis studying robot vision. This thesis will be gradually presented here. It deals with a real-time image processing using spectral analysis for obstacle detection.
