Ceilbot Previous work at Aalto

Fall 2009

In Fall 2009 four teams developed different concepts and application scenarios for the Ceilbot. A consultant from House Construction Department clarified the applicable methods to mount the robot onto ceiling.

Fall 2010

In Fall 2010 Students designed the rail system and a modular attachement grid for it, a demonstration model for the continuum manipulator, software for GIMnet-based control and communications (http://gim.tkk.fi/GIMnet , http://gim.tkk.fi/MaCI), software for odometry, and 3D map-building algorithms.

Spring 2011

During Spring 2011 building of the system started. The rail system and its mounting grid were assembled in the premises of Aalto Design Factory. Also a demonstration model of the manipulator was realized. Drive electronics for a 2 dof. camera scanner was designed and prototyped, batteries for energy system were explored and use of Microsoft Kinect for 3D mapping was explored. Further work on software was conducted.
