Georgia Tech’s Healthcare Robotics Lab built a new humanoid mobile robot named “Cody” using a Segway RMP 50 Omni mobile robot platform, 1-DoF vertical linear actuator, and a pair of 7-DoF Meka Arms with series elastic actuators. Watch the video below to view Cody in action.

Our friends at SRI’s Artificial Intelligence Center are at it again and this time they’re driving an RMP 50 Omni mobile robot using an Android phone.  Check out the video below:

The Player Project (formerly the Player/Stage Project) creates free, open source robot control interface software that is widely used in robotics education and research.

Instructions on how to install and compile Player 2.1.x for a Segway RMP are available here, thanks to Régis Vincent at SRI International’s Artificial Intelligence Center.
