Results and pictures from Sick
This videos show the Zerg robot driving fast during the training and the "Robot Day", a robot competition organized by the Sick company in Waldkirch. The robot won the 1st place of the indoor race by finishing the course within 20 seconds, whereas the next best team needed 30 seconds. The robot has been controlled by "Commander Greedy", a reactive controller that avoids obstacles detected by the laser range finder. Furthermore, the robot localized itself with Monte Carlo Localization (MCL) and planned its trajectory with a A* planner.
Behavior maps: Lurker exploration on rough terrain (mpeg - 49MB)
This video shows the Lurker robot driving on rough terrain while classifying structures and building behavior maps. The behavior maps allow the robot to exexute behaviours with respect to the context.
Large-Scale exploration of 12 robots: Simulated RFID approach in USARSim (mpeg 5MB)
This video shows a team of simulated ZERG robots in outdoor and indoor environments. They synchronize their exploration by data exchange via RFID tags.
Fast and Autonomous: Zerg navigating in a narrow arena (xvid - 11MB)
This video shows the Zerg driving at high speed.
Autonomous Victim detection (wmv - 11MB) (mpeg - 5MB)
This video shows the application of Markov Random Fields (MRFs) to the problem of victim detection. The classifier combines evidence from motion, color, and shape, detected in images from a thermo (IR) and video camera, respectively.

Final @RoboCup'06 (xvid - 18.1MB) (mpeg1 - 35.8MB)Final run in the Autonomy Challenge 2006 in Bremen: During this challenge the robot had to autonomously explopre and map an unknown environment. Furthermore, the environment contained victims, which had to be found by the robot and their location to be marked on the map (in the video this takes place if the robot stops for some seconds).
Zerg controlling a flying robot (xvid - 4.0MB) (mpeg1 - 7.6MB)
Video of the linkmav during a center court demo: You see the autonomous ground control of a UAV (linkmav) by one of our Zerg robots. The linkmav has been developed at Linkoeping University (Sweden).
