The drone (UAV) worth $ 1,000 is available and is built on the Linux platform, but the robot on the equivalent Linux platform seems yet. However, we are working towards this direction. Like Robot Slide Show last year, the top 10 this year is not shopping guide! However, it can also explain that Linux can implement new features in the ground robot, drone, and autonomous underwater steam.
This year, the robots we have chosen must have certain self-capacity, even if the ground robot can pass obstacles, or when the drone is returning to the base station, it landed according to its own situation. This eliminates those who completely depend on manually controlled robots, such as low-end BEAM + version of UNBOUNDED ROBOTICS 'BEAM Telepresence Bot below $ 1,000. In addition, robots must also be able to move, even if they only have one or two arms.
Most of these robots can be bought, although some need to spend hundreds of dollars. Others can also be scheduled before 2015.
The Aldeberan's Pepper emotional sensitive robot (designed for sale and companion) from SoftBank is related to SCIOTS A5 monitoring robots. If you are worried about recent Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk about artificial intelligence is very dangerous warning, you can choose Savione's service robot. It not only provides a towel for your hotel, but also promises you that you will not feel that you have a slavery in the robot work camp.
Linux is likely to play an important role in the field of industrial robots. Here, this includes UBR-1, which provides a smart robotic arm, can work with humans together to complete smart work, just like two armed Baxter. It is worth mentioning that UBR-1 has appeared in the list last year. Unfortunately, Linux-based Butler Gold feeder robots in this year did not appear again.
Here are three drones below 1,000 US dollars. Including Bebop Drone worth $ 499 or higher, it is the advanced version of Ar.Drone 2, which is higher, more independent. And Pleiade's Spiri, the starting price is $ 945. The in-depth report of the Erle-Copter of $ 491 or higher is here. Like the robots in other lists, they all run on Linux, not Android, but next year, we may join Android's MIND4FOLLLOW-ME drone, December 23, can be in Indiegogo at $ 899 in Indiegogo Buy.
In addition to the OpenROV last year, we have not found any consumers to pay the Linux-based underwater robot. However, we include two majors, unmanned semi-self-owned submarines, and they are also running on Linux. Bulefin-21 successfully captured Mashang 370 this year this year. Seabed recently found that Antarctic sea ice has been much greater than expected in Woods Hole-Directed studies.
Ros adds ARM Linux to support APM TuxWard migration
This year, more robots are built in the Linux platform. In September, the Open Source Robot Foundation (OSRF) announced an increase in the ARMLinux Support Robot Open Source System (ROS) program, using the Snapdragon 600 optimized version. In recent years, ROS and Linux teamed up in multiple robotic designs, including some of our list. But the new port should support the first true Linux-based RO robot.
Linux transplant is expected to be completed this month and then compiled in Android. Last week, Qualcomm released the latest developments in the project, including execution of ROS on Linux + Snapdragon 600 and Inforce IFC6410 SBC.
At the same time, the direction of the air robot, the other Linux version of open source 3DROBOTIC, with Arduino as the core, the UAV driving system based on the APM (Ardupilotmega) drone operating system begins. The BeaglePilot project was completed under 3DRobotics, Erle Robotics and some academic organizations, which integrates BeagleBone Black SBC running APM autopilot on Linux. The project recently published a related papers, Erle Robotics also launched a similar Linux-based Erle-Copter, which also appeared in our list.
In October, the Linux Foundation, 3DROBOTICS teamed up to develop APM-based PX4 automaton; and intended with Intel, Qualcomm jointly created APM-based open source projects DRONECODE PROJECT. Although the project did not mention Linux-based Dronecode devices, in addition to the Copter of the E-person, we are likely to see other in 2015. 3DROBOTICS is also developing a photon computer for its IRIS + drones, and the drone is running Linux in the Intel Edison module.
As we expect, Linux robots have new breakthroughs in 2015. Of course, the top 10 of our previous two years is still valid. Last year's lists include: ASV Roboat, Baxter 2.0, BEAM, Cheetah-Cub Robot, Frindo, Hydraulic Quadruped, Lego Mindstorms Ev3, Nao, OpenROV and SuperDroid 6wd. At the same time, there are also many open source design based on Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black, and Linux SBCs, you can also try to create your own robots.
Irobot's AVA 500 remote robot enters ranking. AVA is used as a $ 200 cracked version of Roomba, mainly for Create 2 Stem education. The microcontroller-based AVA cannot perform VACCUM like Roomba, but it can install the camera and can be programmed via notebook Diana, Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
10 big Linux robot
AVA 500 - Irobot
Bebop Drone - Parrot
Bluefin-21 - Bluefin Robotics
Erle-Copter - Erle Robotics
Pepper - SoftBank and Andeberan
Savione - savioke
Scitos A5 - Metralabs / GS4
Seabed - Seabed Technologies
Spiri - Pleiades
UBR-1 - UNBOUNDED ROBOTICS
