Demonstrations of JANUS' capabilities

Cartoons extracted from JANUS simulations

The first incarnation of JANUS was only as a software simulation. Here are a few cartoons of JANUS obtained using the rendering program of the simulator. It illustrates a few features of the controller.

Example of a pick and place task
Example of adaptive behaviour
Animation of Blackboard Behavior

Film of the laboratory

After the simulation phase, we started to use "real" hardware, here are a few short films of this phase.

General Remarks about the Films

Due to the large size of online films, we were forced to show very short films only. Thus such films do not provide a detailed insight into the workings of the robot, but they do allow an impression of what we are doing.
