Development SuperDroids

SuperDroid robots are development robots for autonomous applications. The main challenge of robots is the robot knowing where it is. Easy methods such as wires or lines on the floor are common. The ideal robot should be able to be put in any environment, be given a reference point, and know where it is hence forth (AKA dead reckoning). Dead reckoning is easier said than done.  SuperDroid Robots is continuously developing and deploying robotic applications that will eventually lead the robotic community in realizing true dead reckoning.

SuperDroid Robots are development robots that have one main quest, knowing where they are. Once a robot knows its location it will know where the Keg tap (or fridge for the less fortunate) is. Knowing this it will then be able pour a pint of beer for their owner when his/her car pulls into the driveway after a hard day at the salt mines

SuperDroidRobots has been building robots for 20 years under different aliases.  Each SuperDroid robot has had more complexity added to it as the technologies evolves.  Electronics has been making monumental advances, helping the robot community.  The driving theme is to develop autonomous robots that can get its owner a beer from the fridge.  In order to do this reliably SuperDroid Robots has been developing many different techniques.  Some of these projects have been passed on in the SuperDroid Trekker, and more are coming soon!
