The Designed Intelligence Group at the Department of Industrial Design (Eindhoven University of Technology) use the Robotics Laboratory to explore autonomous systems and their interaction with users. Besides existing hardware platforms, such as the iCat, or Nao, we also developed our own educational robot AdMoVeo. We also massively use Mindstorm NXT and a complete Noldus [...]
