The Geekbot Advanced with BrainOS is here! This is a special edition of our Geekbot Platform powered by Brain Corporation’s BrainOS. This robot can be controlled via an iPhone App or set to run autonomously. The Geekbot uses a Raspberry Pi to process image data from its RobotGeek Webcam and traverse obstacles in its environment.

Brain Corporation’s work on BrainOS is unique because they are designing a system that is intended to be trained instead of programmed. The idea is that there are tasks that are far easier to ‘train’ a robot to perform vs program the robot to perform. Brain OS is great for service robots that need to interact with their environment in a complex fashion. Training can be shared among multiple robots, allowing you to deploy a whole swarm of BrainOS based robots!

WinRME

Forum User r3n33 is at it again, this time with a new way to move the HR-OS1! WinRME is a .Net application that’s capable of relaying all the standard RME commands to the robot via manual entry, as well as a growing list of features. Based on RME (netRME), this program is shaping up to be a fantastic companion to the HR-OS1 for anyone using the Windows OS environment. This is exciting news. WinRME is being designed with a graphic user interface (a major improvement on the original), and will utilize multiple windows to allow you to keep your movement list on hand and ready to rock (a massive improvement on a personal pet peeve). There isn’t a download version available just yet, this is still in early development, but it’s worth checking out the screenshots below and following the forum post for more details!
