Robots

During my time at the University of Maryland, and University of Southern California I have played with several robots. Here are few of those:

Wave Adaptive Modular Vessels (WAM-V) – USV14

wam-v

  • Length: 4.26 meters (14 feet)
  • Top Speed: 2.83 m/s
  • Turning Radius: 8-10 meters
  • Two water jets for propulsion.
  • Two reversing buckets to produce reverse thrust.
  • Payload 250 lbs

Published paper on approaches demonstrated using USV14 can be found at PAPERS and VIDEOS. The USV14 is owned by our collaborators at Florida Atlantic University.
