ICRA 2015 AVERT: An Autonomous Multi-Robot System for Vehicle Extraction and Transportation
(0) | 10/05/2015 | Accompanying video for the paper “AVERT: An Autonomous Multi-Robot System for Vehicle Extraction and Transportation” to be presented at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA2015), May 26-30, Seattle, Washington, USA.
Authors: Angelos Amanatiadis, Christopher Henschel, Bernd Birkicht, Benjamin Andel, Konstantinos Charalampous, Ioannis Kostavelis, Richard May, and Antonios Gasteratos.
In this video, a swarm of robots is able to extract vehicles from confined spaces with delicate handling, swiftly and in any direction. The novel lifting robots are capable of omnidirectional movement, thus they can under-ride the desired vehicle and dock to its wheels for a synchronized lifting and extraction. The overall developed system applies reasoning about available trajectory paths, wheel identification, local and undercarriage obstacle detection, in order to fully automate the process.
Αν οι πύραυλοι ήταν διάφανοι Τι θα βλέπαμε αν οι πύραυλοι που εκτοξεύονται στο διάστημα ήταν διάφανοι; Σε αυτό το 3D animation βλέπουμε σε πραγματικό χρόνο την καύση του καυσίμου και τα διάφορα στάδια διαίρεσης των πυραύλων Saturn V, Space Shuttle, Falcon Heavy και Space Launch System (SLS). Κόκκινο = Κηροζίνη RP-1

Μπλε = Υγρό Οξυγόνο LOX- Aliens under the ice: life on other planets Outside in the vast coldness of outer space, there are planets that travel alone through darkness without the boundaries of a system. Here is how this can happen and why these frozen deserts could secretly harbor extraterrestrial life.
- Locked in a safe September 18, 2018 / California, USA My friend got locked in a safe. We tried scaring him by pressing random numbers but after several failed attempts, the system locked itself. This happened on Tuesday night at Academy. I soon called a worker and then came a manager. They couldn’t seem to get it open so they dialed 911. While they were waiting for fire and EMS to respond, they went looking for the manual. A police officer arrived and started questioning us about what had happened. They read the manual and it stated we had to wait 5 minutes before it restarted. Time went by and the fire crew arrived. We waited and then we managed to unlock it. The police officer took my friend's information and wrote a report. Fire and EMS checked him out and after he was cleared, we left.
- Too much bass August 26, 2018 / Lincoln City, Oregon, USA This video is of Brandon getting a demo in Jeremy's van at Surf City 2018. Both friends of mine. Jeremy's van is one of the loudest vehicles on the west coast. Only about 6 seconds and he jumped out.
- Near-collision between a plane taking off and a van The so-called "Runway Incursion" incident took place on June 27, 2018 at Springfield-Branson National Airport, Missouri. (USA). While an Envoy Air Embraer ERJ-145 flying 3660 between Chicago and O'Hare Airport was in the midst of a take-off, an airport pickup truck crossed the runway right in front of the plane. ! Luckily, this one was doing its rotation and so passed over the vehicle, within a few seconds! There were 57 passengers on board, it could easily end in tragedy.
- Wild deer adorably naps on woman’s lap Animals are amazing creatures! They can bring joy to our lives even when we are feeling low. Sure, there are some animals that you do not want to get anywhere near, but then there are some that you just want to cuddle with and love just like this deer here. In this adorable video, watch as a deer falls asleep in this person's lap! Sadly, the deer is blind and deaf due to an unfortunate collision with a vehicle. Luckily the good Samaritan in this clip saved the deer and took it in as a part of the family. Faith in humanity restored! It is very sad what happened to this animal. Good thing that this person came along when they did or else the unthinkable could have happened to this deer. Animals should not have to suffer due to our negligence, at least this person is out there atoning for someones wrong doing! Footage filmed in Alabaster, Alabama, USA.
- SpotMini Autonomous Navigation SpotMini autonomously navigates a specified route through an office and lab facility. Before the test, the robot is manually driven through the space so it can build a map of the space using visual data from cameras mounted on the front, back and sides of the robot. During the autonomous run, SpotMini uses data from the cameras to localize itself in the map and to detect and avoid obstacles. Once the operator presses 'GO' at the beginning of the video, the robot is on its own. Total walk time for this route is just over 6 minutes. (The QR codes visible in the video are used to measure performance, not for navigation.)
- Special Operations Boat Airdrop From C-17: Low Velocity Airdrop Delivery System (LVADS) Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen (SWCC) with Special Boat Team 20 personnel execute the insertion of two Combatant Craft Assault (CCA) vehicles using the Low Velocity Airdrop Delivery System (LVADS) from a C-17 cargo aircraft during a training exercise.
- Hilarious Toddler Struggles With Wrapping Paper This is the hilarious moment a toddler tries and struggles to keep wrapping paper flat on the ground for Christmas presents.
While John Thueringer watches on in Snohomish, Washington, USA, his nephew Cody lays out some festive gift decoration and walks to one end.
Having laid the corners down, the almost two-year-old walks away, only for the paper to curl back up on December 18.
After several more attempts, Cody quickly gets frustrated and in a final attempt to flatten the wrapping paper, he trips and falls flat on his face.
- Thieves Smash Stolen Truck Through Store Occurred on November 21, 2017 / Valley, Alabama, USA "At approximately 3:00 AM, two thieves crashed this vehicle into a store to burglarize an ATM."
- Man Steals Halloween Candy Occurred on October 31, 2017 / Tomball, Texas, USA I put out a sign on Halloween that said 'Halloween Honor System - Just Take Two' and put candy in a metal pail. All the kids took only a few, but this grown man drove up and helped himself to the rest. At least he left me the pail!
- Lucid Air (2019) Tesla Model S killer? The 2019 Lucid Air all-electric sedan combines forward-looking design with groundbreaking technology to establish an entirely new class of vehicle. Featuring full-size interior space in a mid-size exterior footprint, the autonomous-ready Air will be available with up to 400 miles of range and 1,000 horsepower. The Air will be manufactured in Casa Grande, Arizona, and deliveries will begin in 2019, with prices beginning at $52,500 after federal tax credits.
- Stealing Gas From a Truck Occurred on July 15, 2017 / Palmer, Alaska, USA "It was approximately 6 am last Friday when I caught this woman siphoning fuel out of a company vehicle. I confronted her and called the police who in turn found her a few miles away. They let me know the vehicle was also stolen. So this dummy was stealing gasoline for a stolen car."
- Crazyswarm: a large nano-quadcopter swarm Crazyswarm is a swarm of 49 Crazyflie 2.0 nano-quadcopters operating in a new experimental robotics building at USC. We localize the quadcopters with a Vicon motion-capture system and a custom object tracker that supports identical marker arrangements. Three shared radios broadcast position updates at 100Hz and send high-level trajectory commands to each vehicle. Vicon-IMU sensor fusion, trajectory evaluation, and position control are all performed onboard at 500Hz. The rotating pyramid demo is built from ellipse commands. The USC letters demo is built from point-to-point commands with each vehicle planning fifth-order polynomial trajectories onboard. A Python scripting layer controls the overall sequence of events. A forthcoming publication from our group will describe the components of this system, the platform constraints, tradeoffs, and the associated design decisions in detail.
- NASA & TRAPPIST-1: A Treasure Trove of Planets Found Seven Earth-sized planets have been observed by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope around a tiny, nearby, ultra-cool dwarf star called TRAPPIST-1. Three of these planets are firmly in the habitable zone. Over 21 days, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope measured the drop in light as each planet passed in front of the star. Spitzer was able to identify a total of seven rocky worlds, including three in the habitable zone, where liquid water might be found. The video features interviews with Sean Carey, manager of the Spitzer Science Center, Caltech/IPAC; Nikole Lewis, James Webb Space Telescope project scientist, Space Telescope Science Institute; and Michaël Gillon, principal investigator, TRAPPIST, University of Liege, Belgium. The system has been revealed through observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and the ground-based TRAPPIST (TRAnsiting Planets and PlanetesImals Small Telescope) telescope, as well as other ground-based observatories. The system was named for the TRAPPIST telescope.
