PR2 Beta Program: The Call for Proposals is Out! | Willow Garage
Don’t really know much about this PR2 Beta robot, but if you can prove that your institution would put it to good use, you can apply to get one for free.
Personally if WALL-E and Eve had a baby, I think it would look something like this.
It works off Robot Operating System, or ROS 1.0, which seems to be an open source programing language for robots.
As BotJunkie puts it, “Basically, the idea behind ROS is to keep people from having to reinvent the wheel over and over again for each new robot, so that people can spend their time improving the wheel and inventing the hoverpad, as it were.”
