RiSE Platform Information
Contents
The RiSE platform runs QNX 6.1.0 on a Geode 266MHz processor. The body (v1.0) contains 12 Maxon RE motors and a 4-bar linkage connected through a differential (v1.2 uses a belt drive system) that reveals 2 DOF (wing and crank angle) per leg. The leg position is controlled by RMCs (RiSE motor controller) that use PD control. Currently the body uses LSANs (leg sensing and actuation node) to collect sensor info (accelerometer, potentiometer on 4-bar joint) for feedback. Generarally, BDI designed the robot hardware, CMU devloped the software by CMU, and Stanford is devlopming the feet and some related sensing.

Information regarding the quadraped version of RiSE.
This page contains a log of the platform related operations issues (ie. when/why is has been operational/available for testing or not).
This page contains some more general information about the robot configuration (ie. battery, charger, wireless, direct connect, and software info).
This page contains info on how to operate the robot (ie. starting the robot and related hardware/software to get things working).
This page contains some basic information on how to update/change to code that operates the robot platform.
Stuff written down by Alan about what the various modules, modes, and other many undocumented functions in the RoboDevel? directory do.
