Networking is at the heart of any modern robotic system. Whether you’re a hobbyist building a single robot or a professional managing a fleet of autonomous machines, reliable network communication is critical. Yet, when it comes to ROS 2, networking challenges can... read more
Creating and integrating fully autonomous robots is a long process with significant periods of trial and error. In lieu of these robots handling many of society’s needs, currently, semi-autonomous teleoperated robots fill in instead. Teleoperation means the remote... read more
In the modern era where goods and services need to be distributed quickly and efficiently, the robotics industry has seen much development in the field of autonomous vehicles and robots for the purpose of delivery. Specifically, due to health concerns surrounding... read more
We are excited to announce integrated support for the latest (and final) release of the ROS1 framework, ROS Noetic, on Jackal UGV! ROS Noetic uses the same basic package structure as ROS Melodic, but runs on Ubuntu 20.04 and will be supported until May 2025. One of... read more
One of the largest concerns in a constantly growing agriculture industry is sustainability. With the population growth booming year after year, many believe that the controlled environments of indoor farming, such as greenhouses, are the energy-efficient solution to... read more
Last year we featured the story of Accerion, a Dutch company that used Jackal UGV to test and develop their unique camera-based systems which enable submillimeter-level positioning for AGVs and rugged mobile robots. A year later, we are excited to touch base with them... read more
Like many of you, we can’t wait to get back to attending robotics conferences in person. We love the opportunity to talk to you about your exciting projects and to fill you in on the latest developments here at Clearpath. Although we were unable to attend ICRA... read more
We thought we’d seen it all! Fashion is maybe one of the last industries we thought we would see one of our robotic platforms pop up in. But we are very excited to see Boxer, our autonomous indoor mobile robot, at St. Clair College, helping to create a safe... read more
It’s a common issue faced in robotics research and design; how can we create robots, particularly mobile manipulators that can work alongside humans in highly dynamic and unpredictable environments? The problem is that right now, mobile manipulators are simply not... read more
