Within the infrastructure investments into the of National Centre Robotics, we deceided to build new entrances into our room. Currently we are working on building electronic access and expanding the park by industrial robot Motoman and mobile manipulator Kuka YouBot.
We are one of the first to work in ROS in Slovakia. Below you can see the map of NCR, which was created in ROS. Area was mapped by robot MRVK, which used the package SLAM gmapping. Hokuyo URG-04 LX and odometry were used as sensorial equipment. In the future we plan to expand this … read more

ROS – Robotic Operating System is dominating in actual robotics. It is a framework under OS Linux, which enables and makes easier development of own robotic applications by prepared packages. This trend is noticable also in National Centre of Robotics. In the concrete students of bachelors field of study called Robotics and cybernetics has implented … read more
Six pieces of laser rangefinder RPLIDAR 360° Laser Scanner and one TIM561-2050101 from company Sick were added as new equipment of National Centre of Robotics. First type of scanners will be also used in education, and second scanner is primarily assigned into the research.
National Centre of Robotics prepared in cooperation with Institute of Robotics and Cybernetics event Robotic Days, which was organized for students of secondary schools. This event took place on the occasion of European Robotics Week. NCR was visited by approximately 80 students of secondary schools from Bratislava. Within the context of Robotic Days, TV Markíza … read more
