In the early 2014 Nvidia released the first ARM embedded development kit powered by CUDA, the Nvidia Jetson TK1. As robot maker and Computer Vision lover it was a dream that became true… the price was really competitive, with “only” 192$ I bought a quad core ARM A15 board running at…
On MyzharBot v4 the Asus Xtion Pro Live RGB-D sensor has been replaced by the Stereolabs ZED stereo camera, in order to overcome the limitations of the Primesense technology in outdoor environment under the direct sunlight. The installation of the ZED camera on the Nvidia Jetson TK1 is really straigthforward as…
MyzharBot v3 is closed in a box ready to leave Italy for a trip that I will describe in the near future… MyzharBot v4 is almost ready to move its first steps… but I’m not yet convinced about the central closed structure that will contain all the electronic boards… So it’s…
MyzharBot wants to be autonomous, but mostly it wants to be an autonomous OUTDOOR robot… so what is missing in MyzharBot to be a perfect outdoor Robot?
GTC2015 is over, MyzharBot is safely back to Italy with his friend 4UDE. What to say about this experience? There would be a lot of words to say, but it is really difficult to translate the feelings in words. The GPU Conference was amazing, Nvidia organizes a really fantastic event,…
A little collection of five videos of MyzharBot demonstrating a simple obstacle avoidance algorithm based on depth data received by the Asus Xtion Pro Live
To give to MyzharBot a better 3D knowledge of the environment I’m working on the integration on ROS of the 3D RGB-D sensor DepthSense DS325 by SoftKinetic. DS325 is a RGB-D camera based on Time-of-Flight technology.
The guide to configure the Nvidia Jetson TK1 to get the best performance for MyzharBot and other robotic systems has been updated with the latest tweaks from Jetsonhack Blog. There is also a new tutorial on how to activate the Wifi Access Point. Now you can connect directly to MyzharBot without needing…
Since december 2014 I started a good collaboration with the “NVIDIA Embedded Computing” team to unlock the full potential of Myzharbot. Nvidia is supporting my robotic project with technical guidance, hardware and software support. MyzharBot is now being promoted at official Nvidia events and conference shows and it will be at GTC2015…
