Win A Robot

Willow Garage, the folks behind the robot that can recharge itself has put out a call for proposals.  Willow Garage is giving away up to 10 of its PR2 robot shown here to research facilities that submit a proposal.

Willow Garage’s goal is to facilitate progress in the area of personal robotics, and to develop a world-wide community of researchers and developers contributing to open-source. Willow Garage works to facilitate progress in the area of personal robotics by sponsoring community-building activities and events, internship programs and visiting scholars.

This Call for Proposals is the beginning of an important open source robotics community-building effort. It is our hope that the PR2 platform will focus attention and foster the sharing of open source code to enable the development of new robotics systems, tools and applications.
