A compact mobile platform
With only 50 cm (20 inches) in diameter, this mobile platform is very compact and can be used in small offices or laboratories to develop electronics and software algorithms for autonomous systems..
Power System
Powered from a 36 V nominal 15 Ah battery with
dual motor
The system has dual motor on the sides of 200 W each
Single computer
A single RBox is used to drive the system with the integrated power electronics
Sensors
A Hokuyo LIDAR UTM-30LX is used for scanning, 2 cameras and 6 ultrasounds.
A set of features
Inter-robot communication
By using the RBox the mobile platforms can exchange information between them without the need of extra communication devices.
Integrated actuator
An integrated actuator is placed in the center of the platform to assist in the development of lifting items from underneeth.
Front LIDAR
The LIDAR positioning is done so one can
cover the maximum angle possible (~270°) with minimum interference.
Ussage scenarious
The platform can be used to develop robotic swarm application where the approach consist in the coordination of multiple robots as a system. It might be used of a large numbers of mostly simple robots or more complex ones.
By being small, this mobile platform can be testes in small labs or offices.
The platform
The Pylon
Fully equiped mobile platform for testing swarm applications inside offices or small labs.
Sensors
The sensors on the vehicle are represented by the top LIDAR and ultrasounds. On the sides, the vehicle has 6 ultrasounds and a front and rear pointing cameras.
Computing
RBox is the main computer on-board. Powered with an nVidia AGX or NX it is used to drive all the systems inside the vehicle and provide interfaces for accessories
Actuators
The robot actuators are as options only. There is one top side for lifting objects up to 20 cm and a bottom one used as park-brake during lifting.
POWER DRIVE
The robot comes with a 36V / 15 Ah batteryand two 6″ hub motors of 250 W each.
