  • HUBO LED Display Demo w/o CAN Bus Support
  • This video demostrates the LED Display designed by Bryan Kobe. The LED matrix is controlled by a smaller secondary board, designed by the HUBO Lab and based on a F2808 DSP from Texas Instruments. The programming for this particular demostration was written by Bryan and features a series of hardcoded messages/graphics shown in succession.

  • HUBO LED Display Demo w/ CAN Bus Support
  • This video demostrates the same LED Display shown above, except that instead of hardcoded messages/graphics, the LED matrix is controlled by a GUI on a PC connected to the controller board via a CAN Bus.

  • LabVIEW: Joystick Controlled Lego NXT Robots
  • This video demostrates two Lego NXT robots being controlled simultaneously using LabVIEW and two seperate joysticks, in this case, the ones found on two Logitech gamepads.

  • Microsoft Robotics Studio: Real World vs. Simulation
  • This comparison video shows a program written for a Lego NXT Tribot under the Microsoft Robotics Studio being executed in both the real world and MRS's simulator.

  • 3 DOF Lego Minstorm Arm (LabVIEW Controlled)
  • This video demonstrates an NXT robotic arm (see below) being controlled remotely by a LabVIEW GUI via Bluetooth.

  • 3 DOF Lego Minstorm Arm (Touch Sensor Controlled)
  • This is a demostration of a 3 degrees-of-freedom robotic arm constructed using a Lego's Mindstorms NXT kit. It is based off a tutorial by Dr. Paul Oh, but has the additional functionality of being non-planar - its base can rotate 180 degrees. The video demonstrates a control system utilizing two touch sensors, also from the NXT kit. By keeping one of the sensors pressed, one of the planar motors becomes engaged and can then be controlled by pressing the other touch sensor. Which motor becomes engaged is dependant upon which sensor is held down first. Motion of the motors can be reversed by quickly tapping its corresponding engagement sensor. Rotation of the base is controlled by holding down both sensors. Tapping both sensors together reverses the direction of rotation.
