Ravon's GalleryThis page presents some selected videos and images of RAVON. Visit the archive to follow the development of the robot from the very beginning. Technical and scientific information can be found here.
Happy Birthday RAVON!Event Picture CollectionsTeam RAVON regularly presents the state of development to the public. In the context of such events the dialogue between science and society is sought to identify new perspectives and to inform about recent achievements. In this section you will find picture collections on current events.
KI 2008VideosHere you can find some selected videos of Ravon in action: 01.03.2010 - Principle of the two-staged Bumper in Simulation (54MB) In this experiment all visual obstacle detection facilities have been deactivated. The robot merely reacts on tactile impacts on the instrumented bumper system. Besides the industrial safety bumper, RAVON's bumper bar is equipped with a deflexion measurement system, which allows the robot to analyse its environment in a tactile fashion. Tactile events are cast into a short-term memory which is resampled into abstract views. These views are used for obstacle avoidance as if the data was obtained by visual sensors. That way the robot can see touch just like a human would in complete darkness. The robot has to drop to creep velocity (10cm/s) to detect obstacles in a tactile fashion. Therefore, the video is played in 4x speed. 23.02.2009 - USING PASSAGES TO SUPPORT OFF-ROAD ROBOT NAVIGATION Video for the ICINCO 2009 Review
24.11.2008 - Presentation of following aspects (16MB) Passage Detection Terrain Negotiation Water Detection Navigation Simulation
25.05.2008 - RAVON in the Palatine Forest (40MB) Test run in the Palatine Forest. Presented in the context of the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation 2008 in Pasaden/USA.
