SubT Virtual Cave Circuit — Robotika Team
Cave is the last of three training Circuits before the finals in 2021
(if everything goes well). The environment is interesting of variable 3D
terrain and combination of huge and narrow openings. Update: 17/11/2020 —

Space Robotics Challenge — NASA challenge, Phase 2
NASA vyhlásila pokračování soutěže Space Robotics Challenge, která probíhá
v simulovaném prostředí Gazebo/ROS. Cílem SRC2 je realizovat plně autonomně
dlouhodobou ISRU (in-situ resource utilization) misi na Měsíci. Cílem
skupinky robotů je lokalizovat důležité minerály, sbírat je a neztratit se v
neznámém prostředí. Update: 19/9/2020 —

RoboTrip summer 2020 — aneb Tulák po parku
Úkolem 1. ročníku soutěže robotů RoboTrip summer bylo projet
parkem po cyklostezce. Že to připomíná Robotour nebo Robotem rovně. Nechte se překvapit.

Robotour 2020 — testing in the post-apocalyptic location
The 15th year of Robotour contest for autonomous outdoor robots will take place
in closed area without access for general public. The location is „secret”,
not far from Prague (appox. 40km).

AI vs. COVID-19 — forecasting crowded locations
This project seeks to develop predictive models to help minimize a person’s
potential exposure to infection, as they practice social distancing but while
also making essential trips for food, medicine, and helping others that need

SubT Virtual Urban Circuit — Robotika Team
In parallel with System Track Urban Circuit starts also Virtual Track.
This time we will keep two separate threads/blogs although they are connected
— one team Robotika. While System Track is still "big unknown" for
Virtual Track is already qualification world prepared, so let's have a look …

Kloubák — flexibilní 4WD polní robot
Je na čase začít dokumentovat úvodní krůčky mobilního robota „Kloubák”, který
vzniká na zemědělce (ČZU/TF). Přestože myšlenka kloubového podvozku je již
poměrně stará, teprve Jakub a spol. projekt uvedl do pohybu. A jsem za to moc
rád.

JECCbot mini — beginners robot for robotic competition in Deggendorf
We are constructing a beginners robot. This robot would allow the teams to have
an easy start to our contest and also the other contests. So we use only off
the shelf parts which everyone can buy and you don't have to solder very much.
It is based on Arduino. The main body is a 3D printed part. So everyone should
be able to print it by himself. We would also make the code available and give
instructions how to assemble the robot. And test the robot and components so
that everything fits together and you don't have to worry that your electronics
blow up or the motors are too weak.

Teams and Invitation — only veterans are going to wet country
Do you remember Robotour 2016 in Deggendorf? It was poring rain all day long.
Maybe it is the reason why only veteran teams are coming this year. There are
8 of them: 3 German, 3 Czech and 2 Slovak teams. You can see them already this
weekend 14th of September 2019 near the THD campus. Starts are planned for
9:30, 11:00, 13:30 and 15:00.

Freyja — four-wheels for SubT Challenge
Freyja is four-wheels differentially driven robot, which turns with skidding.
It is work of Swiss Cogito Team, which is one of the „organisations”
involved in SubT Challenge Tunnel Circuit. Freyja was growing up for 3
months from nothing and in one person it is almost unbelievable, that it can be
done … so it would be pity not to document it!

RoboOrienteering 2019 — Mariánské Lázně, jubilejní desátý ročník
Letos se jubilejního desátého ročníku zúčastnilo deset týmů, což naposledy bylo
prý v roce 2011. Pro mne osobně to bylo v Mariánkách poprvé. Soutěž samotná
byla naším interním SubT Robotika Team STIX milníkem aneb integrační test
robotů připravujících se na SubT Challenge (Robík, Kloubák, Eduro, MOBoS a
Max). Jinak soutěž byla i letos mezinárodní: dva německé týmy a jeden
slovenský.

Předehra — Robík, Eduro, ROS a OSGAR
Je čas dělat „podzemní robotiku”, minimálně DARPA (americká armáda) si to
myslí. První cena v nové SubT Challange jsou 2 milióny USD a již se
neomezuje pouze na američany. Vedle Systems kategorie, kde se očekává
netriviální kombinace mnoha mapovacích robotů zvládající náročné podmínky v
podzemí, je k dispozici i Virtual kategorie, online v simulátoru Gazebo

OSGAR — Open Source Garden Autonomous Robot
OSGAR is a long term project which will probably incorporate more than one

project is carried on in cooperation with the Czech University of Life Science
Prague. Blog update: 21/10 — OSGAR v0.0.1 released!

SICK Robot Day 2018 — první robotická loupež
Letos na podzim se koná další ročník soutěže „SICK Robot Day”. Hrací plocha
je opět tělocvična (cca 13 x 7 metrů), kde proti sobě nastoupí dva soutěžní
roboti + jeden organizátorský! Ten bude jezdit po kruhové dráze s nákladem
železných koulí a úkolem soutěžních robotů je „uloupit co se dá” a dopravit
lup do vlastního doupěte.

Marina — projekt Roboloď
Projekt „Roboloď” pro mne začal na vánočním večírku 2015, tj. skoro před
třemi lety. Bývalý kolega z práce říkal, že jeho kamarád shání někoho, kdo by
dokázal zrobotizovat lodičku zavážející krmení do sádek na rybníce. Projekt byl
(a stále je) takový „tajuplný”, ale nakonec jsme se se dvěma dalšími kamarády
rozhodli do toho jít. Když nic, tak ověříme, jak se nám spolupracuje a na vodě
jsme s robotama ještě nebyli … Blog update:

Introduction of teams — jackal and the veterans
There are 13 registered teams (3 of them have incomplete registration at the
moment) for Robotour 2018 which will take place in Czech Republic (castle
garden Lednice) on 15th of September 2018. The teams are mostly veterans
except The JK-Team from Technical University Deggendorf, which will come
with their commercial platform Jackal from Clearpath Robotics. We can again
look forward to see participants from Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia and
Switzerland.

PuluTOF1 DevKit — the first tests and adaptation to ROS
Pulurobotics from Finland decided to offer a new product: PuluTOF for Raspi
with controller hat and four sensors. It is already working inside their robot
Pulu M. The price for PuluTOF will be around the same as low-end LIDAR,
less than 500 EUR with four sensors, but it gives you at 5Hz 3D point cloud
instead of a single plane. Blog update:
