Description

This software is used to control physical and simulated versions of the SuperDroid Robot Chassis using the University Interface and a custom-built robot arm actuated with Dynamixel Servos using the April Robotics Lab's Java libraries along with the LCM library for communications. It also contains MATLAB code to simulate a human operator for a steering task, using a PD controller tuned to match the average operator performance and behavior observed during a set of user tests. The state of this software is a snapshot from January 2014, and is under continued development by Prof. Dawn Tilbury's lab.
