Robotics is no longer just about experts deploying robots in factories or hospitals. Today, robotics is widely accessible, with the democratization of robotics — making robotics available even to smaller companies and the general public — becoming a major topic. We are contributing to this effort by developing applications that can bring robotics closer to … read more
The successfully defended dissertation thesis of Ing. Adam Gavula, PhD., focused on the design of an algorithm for suppressing vibrations in the chassis of a mobile robot. The application results of his work are shown in the video, which presents algorithms based on input-shaping techniques. These approaches enabled significant suppression of unwanted vibrations during the … read more
