The PR2 is a “personal robot”, designed as a common hardware and software platform for robot researchers. The PR2 has two 7-DOF arms with a payload of 1.8 kilograms, and a rich suite of sensors including a 5-megapixel camera, a tilting laser range finder, and an inertial measurement unit.
Within ECR, we use PR2 for research into mobile manipulation and human-robot interaction, including co-working scenarios.
This robot is unique to the Edinburgh Centre for Robotics and is not available elsewhere in the UK.
