Nanogram
Robotic Soccer

The Advanced Robotics and Mechatronics lecture at IRIS participates in the Nanogram robotic soccer league. In this project, students build autonomous microrobots in the order of 300μm to compete in an international competition. More Information...

CERN

We are designing a robotic vehicle to inspect the interior of the beam pipe. Pipe access points are places every 3.3km and the vehicle is required to be able to reach at least half that distance. More Information...

Wireless Magneotstrictive Sensing for Biomedical and Microrobotic Applications

Magnetoelastic sensors can wirelessly measure physical quantities such as temperature, stress and pressure thereby representing a promising method of in vivo sensing. More Information...

Marvin

MARVIN is a robust development platform for students working in our Advanced Robotics and Mechatronics course. As opposed to similar mobile robots on the market today which focus on mapping and localization tasks, MARVIN is designed with an additional emphasis on low level I/O. Since this device is intended to work in domains that require extensive mechanical, electrical, and software work, equal attention was given to each of these parts of the system design. The new system is motivated by experience with the past mobile robotic systems and desired directions for the future. More Information...

RoboKit

The RoboKit was designed for work in the Introduction to Robotics and Mechatronics course. The kit is intended to be used to allow a wide variety of different mechatronic experiments to be performed with it. This kit enables students to start at the beginning of the semester with simple data acqusition tasks and expand throughout the semester to building and controlling a simple 3DOF manipulator.
