Robots

We currently have four robots that were originally designed by the WF Wolves based on the Nimbro robots and further developed by us under the name Wolfgang.

The height is approx. 83 cm and the weight 7500g.

Equipment

The software that enables the autonomy runs on an Asus mini PC with a Ryzen 7 APU, which is built into the torso of the robot.

The camera we use is a Basler ace that provides sharp pictures despite fast head movements.

The servos we use are Dynamixel MX-106 for the legs and MX-64 for the arms and the head.

Additionally, we use an IMU in the torso and four foot pressure sensors in each foot.

History

Until 2015, we used the Darwin platform. Because of the new demands in the league, we designed two new robots: Hambot and Minibot. These new robots allowed us to walk on the artificial grass for the first time and provided more space for additional hardware. In 2018, we bought two Wolfgangs and used them simultaneously with two Minibots. In 2019, we replaced the remaining Minibots with two new Wolfgangs.
