•In 2009, Willow Garage created a robot that can open doors, locate power outlets, and plug itself. The PR2
PR2
•It’s a two-armed wheeled robot of size similar to a human.
•They plan to released to the public for academic and industrial robotics research.
•The PR2 is a spinoff of PR1, a robotics platform being created at Stanford.
•It uses ROM (robot operating system) and the OpenCV computer vision library.
PR2 Specifications• Has two 7-DOF arms with a payload of 1.8kg.• Sensors include a 5 megapixel camera, a tilting laser
range finder, and an inertial measurement unit.• The “texture projector” projects a pattern on the
environment to create 3D information for capture by cameras, “texture light”.
• The head-mounted laser scanner measures distance by time-of light.
• The two computers located on the base of the robot are 8-core servers with 24 Gigabytes of RAM for a total of 48 GB.
• The battery system consists of 16 laptop batteries.
