[2] Where can I find robotics resources on the net?

Within this FAQ are a wide variety of URL's and pointers to ftp sites for robotics resources. There are a few URL's that go beyond this and some of those are presented here:

Robotics Internet Resource Page:

This is an excellent source of pointers to a wide variety of Robotics related work on the Internet. This includes files, video, images, teleoperation etc etc. - Use your favorite browser (Mosaic, Netscape, MacWeb etc. to check it out) Robotics Internet Resouces Page

European Robotics Archive:

Eurobots is an archive dedicated to storage of robotics related information. It can be accessed via WWW at European Robotics Archive and here for ftp.

In addition to holding a collection of general information, the WWW version has "Hot Links" to useful documents (such as this FAQ!) and pointers to other mobile robot sites. There is also a dedicated section for those working in Europe. This archive is intended to provide a service to all mobile robot developers, so check it out and send us material that others might find useful, or give us your suggestions for improvement.


Virtual Reality (VR) related: For sci.virtual-worlds: Virtual Worlds Also see: ftp://ftp.ipa.fhg.de//pub/VIRTUAL_REALITY/WWW/hmepage.html Site includes papers, product sheets, publications and information.
Tutorial and Overview of Estimation and Navigation work at Notre-Dame
I highly recommend this - it is an excellent use of the www and a well-done overview of the work. - nivek http://www.nd.edu/NDInfo/Research/sskaar/Home.html

Part I: Camera Space Manipulation
Part I relates to the positioning of a rigid body in three-dimensional space relative to a specific, second body accomplished with either a holonomic system, such as a typical industrial robot, or a nonholonomic system, such as a forklift.
