Name: Andrew Lynch
Homepage: www.ece.utexas.edu/~alynch Notes: I am a student at the University of Texas and also a member of the UT-Austin Robotics & Automation Society . My interest started in the FIRST competition in highschool. I've worked on various projects such as multi agent Robotic Soccer (RoboCup) and Unmanned Aerial vehicles (IARC). I help mentor FIRST FRC teams 118 and 624. I am helping setup a network with the College of Engineering at the Robotics Society at UT Austin for FLL, VEX and FRC, Outreach with RAS at Texas I've worked with NASA Robotics Group , OTC-uTexas and ARL-Texas I also keep an updated journal on my Lyncas Googlepages Recent blog entries by lyncaSyndication: RSS 2.0
Gumstix is also quickly becoming the new standard for
embedded linux due to their modules. Hopefully we will soon
intergrate gumstix with Player to make controlling complex
robots a very common practice for the average user.
Now, acroname or pololu needs to take this boards and integrate with working copies of player ready and motors/sensor packages. If anyone knows of these initiatives, I would be happy to assist. Right now I'm working on a gumstix module involving a zworld rabbit 3400 with h-bridges and a simple sensor package.
pyro with their new live CD is becoming a huge success for
robotics using player/stage. Now even someone who knows
nothing about linux can basically program a robot to do
complicated tasks such as track a ball!
The wildfire board from steriod micro seems very
interesting, definitely tough competition for gumstix and
xscale in terms of price and benefits. I am curious to find
where I can learn more about discussion from users about
development on the board.
