love the autonomous work

[@moroniafrifa614]

Looks really good!! Awesome platform!

[@avularrobotics]

Love to hear it! 🦾

[@charliebaby7065]

comes with LIDAR and SLAM software? do you offer the SLAM software by itself too? does it have object recognition at all or YOLO type functions? looks like there are stereoscopic cameras inset just right next to the wheels too. so, point cloud 3d reconstruction and stereo triangulation for grey scale depth mapping?

[@avularrobotics]

We do offer the Origin with LiDAR and SLAM, combined into our Autopilot software package, available upon request. At the moment we don't offer the Autopilot software seperately. We have run our own object recognition trials on the Origin with promising results, meaning it would be easy for you to run your own object detection model. However it is not yet integrated into our software package. Check out our video on object recognition if you're curious! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oH62mI1nbq1qmMk Keen eye! We have a RealSense D435F stereo camera in the front as well as ultrasonic sensors in the front and back. The RealSense takes care of stereo depth mapping. Check out the full specifications on our website: avular.com/robots/robots-specs/

@@avularrobotics thanks for the response. it all sounds very conrete and dependable , and ah yes, of course, realSense, (i forget who owns the rights to that specific structure, but thats unimportant) but for youre own success and future growth, id like to suggest considering expanding efforts towards the leasing of your SLAM software working under realSense achitecture as it seems they're consistently aiming towards making realSense hardware options the dominant contender in the fields, and it seems considering that, then the most convinent oppertunities for companies out there is to calcuate all the input into a usefull output of model for users, by means of work SLAM systems. I my self am such a user and am struggling formulating a SLAM solution, then again, I dont really see alot of avaiable SLAM solutions out there, and also, im very stubborn about being as open platform as pssible and see that SLAM under javascript is truly my only option, so Ive created near impossible parameters to work within . but overall, I like your platform and your drive to support other developers by offering it, but.. focusing only on THAT may corner you in between affordability facotrs and demand, and considering offering an option of open platform SLAM software , just might become your best seller i only say this, because i know what my personal needs are, and i know i cant be alone and i think your in the perfect position to bridge such a gap between nthe communities needs, and everyone's success just an humble suggestion for your consideration. I dont want to take anymore of your time. thanks again for the response

You'll have a switch On the remote control to start the batting cage To reserve gas while it's flying Or on the ground a switch to conserve energy

[@AnthonyWebb7]

You think it would be possible to navigate an indoor space with only vision and leave the lidar behind?

[@avularrobotics]

It is possible, depending on the environmental conditions. Lighting and dynamic environments do present challenges with only relying on visual data, so for now we will keep relying on LiDAR. If you're loooking for an example of using visual data for localization, check out these guys! www.fixposition.com/pages/our-product

[@RameshKumar-kb7hp]

If the indoor space is ideal yes. If it looks like a traffic jam in India, then its going to have a hard time 😅

[@charliebaby7065]

personally, (and im a noob and no where near as professional as avularrobitcs, ,but) id say absolutly. stereoscopic depth mapping or even monocular depth estimation solutions accomidated with solid path planning equations can get you anywhere you need to go, BUT lidar, requires much less work and likely results in far less errors, AND lidar should opperate much much faster because of this . stereoscopic systems currently also depend typically on a pattern thrown by IR systems, so its range is limited and outdoors this is a tremendous complication because of the sun, but indoors other IR sources can interfear too. actually the more i think about it ALL 3 systems have IR weaknesses, except monocular systems can use IR filtering to overcome such issues, yet is the one method sitting with the highest processing cost, slow and suffers the most errors from a fundemental level because it is always guessing at depths. LIDAR is the fastest and most accurate and typically only suffers bad IR inputs once out of numerous laser hit point inputers per revolution cycles per few hundred MS. Stereoscopic, mayber the one most well balanced consumer friendly systems out there. (realSense being the standard provider of such tech, which is what avular hosts onboard their platform) (but without SLAM software solutions, can be useless, SLAM is also included by avular)

[@jasonyu8020]

open source? how much? Where can I buy it?

[@avularrobotics]

Thank you for your interest Jason! ROS 2 is open source, meaning you can easily build applications for the robot! Pricing depends on whether you want it fully loaded with Avular autonomy (plus required sensors) or just the robot by itself. If you're interested in one, please reach out to [e-mail]

[@abdelkaderchelfi6497]

How fast can it go?

[@avularrobotics]

The top speed of the current configuration of Origin One is 1.5 m/s.

[@RogerGarrett]

Suggestion: Lock directly in the camera when talking to what you hope are the viewers of the video.

[@avularrobotics]

This is indeed a valid comment (as you're not the first to point out). We did the best we could at the time, as our expertise still lays in robotics over videography. We look forward to our next batch of content where we can show off such improvements 🦾

[@zackeryjansson590]

If you had a 4 propeller drone on top of These remote control cars you can navigate and places hard to get to

[@avularrobotics]

This is indeed a use-case we're looking into, leveraging the unique position of providing both an aerial and a ground platform together.

[@zackeryjansson590]

@@avularrobotics nice

[@DorothyXie]

Learn from you!👏

[@avularrobotics]

Thanks Dorothy! 🙌

[@abdullahalzaidy1535]

how much does it cost ?

[@avularrobotics]

The price of the platform depends both on the configuration of the robot (base package vs. including autonomy) as well as the environment that it will be operating in. If you want a precise estimate we recommend emailing [e-mail]

[@klaymoon1]

Looks good.

[@avularrobotics]

Love to hear it 🙌

[@MrsGupta]

Awesome.. Bro

[@avularrobotics]

Love to hear it 🙌

[@zackeryjansson590]

Is there any way you can make these drones on the ground fly Transfer from land to air

[@charliebaby7065]

speaking soley as an individual with zero indepth knowledge of avularrobotics. i would say just add propellers, and greatly reduce the weight. and i mean GREATLY. likely their SLAM software is only generally focused on 2D mapping and reconstruction though, at best they may include layering levels, as a drone may move up a flihgt of stairs but id say it really depends on your needs . as a hobbiest, you can just add gps mapping functions through tiled mapping apps like google maps or the mapquest api, accomponing the included SLAM functions if professinally or commercially I suggest looking into the new company Zipline and their Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management software. its basically 3d SLAM with volumetric tubular 3d path planning negotiations that communicate with OTHER airborn drones in vacinity . its constantly adapting and shifting its path, unlike layer staking 2d maps would. Legally this is the best option for FAA clearence these days it seems.

[@zackeryjansson590]

I know this sounds strange but how about a batting cage drone that flies and projects grenades

[@charliebaby7065]

RFLMAO DARPA put out a public request for help combating drone swarms and such nuicances. I stepped up to the plate and said WHY NOT THROWING HOT BACON AND BACON GREASE BALLS at them? they laughed me off, i think as they thought it was a jab at muslims. but then again about a month later, they were demoing blobs of silicone net like bolos designed to tangle up the blades and cover any cameras. very reminicent of my hot bacon suggestion. minnu the grease (grease to congeal on camera lenses obscuring vision) and here i sit thinking see, hot bacon grease still getting in where silicon nets cannot. through openings of the cages and they laughed at me smh

[@zackeryjansson590]

You can also time each drone to hit at different times it doesn't have to be the same time

[@zackeryjansson590]

Night vision

[@zackeryjansson590]

I mean if you landed on a table facing the door on the floor with the moving camera up And straight ahead Side to side

[@zackeryjansson590]

I know there is GPS I wish there was a way to automatically send drones toward a Target with GPS At different angles at the same time you can program each drone different routes to hit a target at different angles at the same time Making it harder to knock down the drones It would be a option to control a swarm of drones at once 2 hit target at the same time Almost near Different angles

[@zackeryjansson590]

If you could have also an option to cancel the mission that would be cool too with the drones Send the drone's back with the cancel button GPS will take the drones back If there is another plan

[@zackeryjansson590]

How about The tear gas 4 propeller drone with batting cage /drone Car i mean if you had it on the ground and air Projects grenades Tear gas or smoke grenades You would be able to fly in park it Hard to reach areas Have the drone far away from the road and hit targets

[@zackeryjansson590]

And pretty much you can make the ammo the same the smoke grenades grenades in teargas

[@zackeryjansson590]

Imagine if it could aim and have the trajection speed Everything attached when it locks onto the target

[@zackeryjansson590]

Also a remote control boat/flying drone It's kind of the same feature at least if you have it on water you can take a break from the remote control It'll be nice if you can combine the 2 features You can creep up on a boat close and fly toward the suspects on the ship your enemies

[@fitnessnature]

you put wheels on cube and called it "Avular Origin One" like it's a space ship :D

[@avularrobotics]

Behold the power of marketing! But seriously, please share with us where you found these cubes with autonomous navigation and ROS 2 capabilities 👀

[@zackeryjansson590]

Imagine a camera taser four propeller drone Say for instance you want to detain Slow down a suspect Imagine it having a laser Pointing at where it shoots The taser at

[@zackeryjansson590]

Imagine If there was a war and you had a hard time getting to a road And you know your suspect is coming down the roadYou could fly it down to the road and switch it to remote control race car And race it toward your suspects And race it toward your suspects

[@zackeryjansson590]

It would be like a flying batting cage machine you could spray grenades all over the tank's ships Whatever you want But if it could hold a ton of grenades that would be awesome

[@zackeryjansson590]

Imagine a broken window in a building Takein out You could fly these things into the building and land it and switch it to remote control car

[@zackeryjansson590]

A drone car that flips GPS magnets Under cars that have warrants And the police can monitor the magnets and determine where they're heading in case there is a missing person and they want to keep close Look out On the suspect moves

[@saardean4481]

I think they use the same gesticulation choreographer as apple does at their events it-all-looks-so-cho-reo-graphed :-)

[@avularrobotics]

Any comparison to Apple-like production we'll take as a compliment 🙏 We also love to conduct in-person demos in case you'd like to see the platform in action!

How about a taser gun drone/car it could fly And drive It has a stun gun built into it It would be great for the police department also a camera Infrared night vision Laser

"get a quote" No, just no. List the price and supply a Buy Now Button.

[@avularrobotics]

We understand the frustration that lack of transparency can cause, but in some cases, businesses choose to support quote requests because requesting a quote may simply work better. For example, with high-ticket items, it may be easier to sell something by providing some sort of consultation. As our robotic platforms are constantly being updated listing a fixed price wouldn't reflect the ever-improving capabilities of the product. This also leaves room for the client to be specific in their request and not have to pay for features that they wouldn't be using!

[@matthew-lawrence]

These guys should still allow purchase of the base platform with price on their site. Two buttons: "buy now" and "request a quote" Price changes? update the site with the new price, its not difficult. Customer needs help? Chat now or telephone number options. And finally why isn't there any link to the product or company at all in the video notes? A link to google maps location, music used, and they added a transcript. The video contents are very interesting but the ball was dropped otherwise.

[@avularrobotics]

Thank you for your honest and constructive feedback! We have implemented the low-hanging fruit straight away in this video description and will continue to improve our descriptions across the board 🦾
