Willow Garage Wants to Give you a PR2 Robot
     



The folks at the I
heart robotics blog let us know that Willow Garage, the startup
working on the PR2 personal robot and the
open source Robot Operating System, just announced a PR2
Beta Program. They're looking for labs and
research organizations willing to work with the PR2 and contribute to the
rapidly growing ROS software stack. Make a proposal describing the open
source software and scientific contribution you'd like to make. Willow
Garage will give a PR2 to those organizations with the best proposals.
They'll favor proposals that do one or more of the following

 * Enable scientific breakthroughs in personal robotics
 * Expand the open source robotics community
 * Develop reusable components and tools
 * Dxplore new applications for personal robots

 The Robot
Operating
System, despite the name, is not an OS but a software stack that
runs on top of the GNU/Linux OS and includes a standardized
robot-specific API, the OpenCV libraries, Player/Stage, and the TREX
goal/event driven behavior framework. For details on how to participate,
see the Call For
Proposals. For all the details on the PR2 robot itself, see the PR2
specification page. To see an early prototype of the PR2 in action,
see our previous video
of the robot plugging itself in to recharge.
