www.imveurope.com/news robotics students look to Xbox Kinect
Engineering students at the University of Warwick are building an innovative rescue robot using the Xbox Kinect to help navigate the machine. The robot is being developed in a bid to retain the European RoboCup Rescue Championship title, won by a team of Warwick students last year.
The students are currently trialling the XBox Kinect to see if they can use it to provide a method of real-time visual communication and 3D mapping, which will ultimately aid in the navigation of the autonomous robot to give the team an edge over the competition. Last year’s team developed a
robot to crawl over difficult terrain such as destroyed buildings in search of trapped survivors. This year the current Warwick Mobile Robotics team of seven students want to use the popular games console to win at the Robocup Rescue World Championships, which is being held in Istanbul.
