Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) Toolkit

This robotics toolkit is part of Cybernet’s OpenSkies networking system, which facilitates the design and deployment of rational software agents. Agents created with the BDI Toolkit are capable of independent decision making behavior based on their informational state, motivational state and deliberative state, as well as gathering data and using that data to produce reasoned decisions.

Eyetracker

Using reflection, video capture and infrared technology, the Eyetracker system reproduces an image of the real-world marked by the user’s gaze location. The system allows for hands-free control of computer interface systems and allows for experiments to be run remotely because it links Windows-based computers to a central Unix station.

Firefly

This high-speed, real-time optical tracking system is designed to capture full-body motion. The controller, which does not need to be attached to the camera, allows for greater user mobility. The system was designed for use in an ordinary office, studio or laboratory setting without having to observe special lighting precautions.

Geo-Telemetry Unit (GTU)

The GTU is a sensor data and position system that uses the ZigBee industry standard to wirelessly transmit data through a mesh network to a base node. The device can be located indoors when reference nodes are available.

NASA JPG2K

This program allows for companies to convert digital, compressed images to a widely used format with minimal image degradation.

NaviGaze

This cutting-edge program enables disabled people with impaired arm and hand mobility to control computer mouse movement using their head, while converting other movements (such as blinking the eyes) into mouse clicks.

NetMAX

NetMAX has been a commercial leader in distributed system software and Linux applications since 1999. In 2007, NetMAX licensed robotics products from Cybernet  to shift its business focus from Linux security servers to embedded and robotics systems. NetMAX Robotics focuses on product sales and the commercial development of robotics, situational awareness systems and embedded sensor products.

Omni-directional transport Platform

The Omni-directional robotic transport platform was originally developed to support the movement of aviation material
through the tight spaces of an aircraft carrier. The platform is capable of movement in any direction, and can perform zero degree turns, move sideways, etc. The system can be operated through either a simple joystick or a more sophisticated
Operator Control Unit (OCU).

OpenSkies Edutainment

The Edutainment series of programs are virtual educational toolkits that enable students to learn about topics through a virtual reality interface. The Virtual Gorilla toolkit allows students to build virtual models of gorilla motion and social interaction within a virtual reality, while answering questions about gorilla behavior, and was designed in response to studies that show students do not effectively blend lectures, two-dimensional images and textual descriptions. The Astronomicon program is similar in nature, and allows three-dimensional modeling where learners can construct their own solar system models within the context of answering questions about the solar system.

OpenSkies Gateway

The OpenSkies Gateway program allows seamless communication between live and simulation applications. It allows the development of new, cutting-edge interoperable applications without the need to replace or rebuild legacy applications.

OpenSkies OpenGL Terrain

This three-dimensional height and terrain mapping program uses Cybernet’s Terrain Management SDK and graphics acceleration to perform real-time, self-occlusion checking with full 6 Degree of Freedom perspectives.

OpenSkies Software Terrain Renderer

This program enables high performance topographic information display on common handheld devices instead of paper maps.

OpenSkies Terrain Management SDK

This program is at the back-end of both the software and hardware renderers in the OpenSkies System. It includes a MovingGrid structure for rendering purposes, as well as utilities for reading elevation and vector data.

Parachute AOD

The Automatic Opening Device captures parachute jump descent data for training and safety purposes, and records jump acceleration, velocity and position from the point of departure from the aircraft. The program also contains algorithms to automatically deploy a reserve parachute in case of chute failure, partial open, and towed jumper conditions.

Stylin’ 3D

This program allows the user to interact with a three-dimensional world, while allowing them  to reach “inside” the computer monitor to feel three-dimensional objects.

TerraNavigator

The TerraNavigator plugs into any portable computer, and provides geolocation, a digital compass and altitude information. Internal tilt sensors allow the device to be held at any orientation and still provide accurate data.

UseYourHead

Working with major first- and third-person shooter and other action games, this program acts as another input device, allowing your head motions to determine directional movement or execute custom commands, leaving your hands free to change weaponry, engage in combat or adjust strategy.
