Hello All,

 

As a part of the PR2 Beta Program,  Bosch RTC is setting up a remote laboratory for our PR2.  This lab will allow us to share our PR2 with distant laboratories.  This will be similar to UWA’s Telelab;  researchers will be able to log into the robot, upload code, and perform experiments in a standardized environment in our lab.  Right now, we are in the planning stages for the laboratory and would like some input from the community.  If you don’t have a PR2, what type of experiments would you like to run on a remote PR2?  If you do have a PR2, are there experiments where you would like to let other researchers test your algorithm or try out an alternative algorithm in a standardized environment? 

Possible experiments might include opening and navigation through a standard set of doors, cleaning up a table, and putting away dishes into a dishwasher. 

 

Any input would be extremely helpful as we plan and build the infrastructure for the remote lab.

 

Regards,
