Robotino
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robotino is a mobile robot system made by Festo Didactic, and
used for educational, training and research purposes.
Operation
Robotino is based on an omnidirectional drive assembly, which
enables the system to roam freely. The robot is controlled by an
industry-standard PC system, which is powerful enough to plan
routes for fully autonomous driving. Via a WLAN-Link, Robotino
can send all sensor readings to an external PC. In the other direction,
control commands can be issued by the external PC. This way,
control programs can run on the external PC or on Robotino
directly. Mixed mode or shared control are also possible.
For users with little prior robotics knowledge, Robotino can be
readily programmed in its native programming environment
RobotinoView II. More experienced programmers may find it useful
that the robot can also be programmed in C, C++, Java, .NET,
Matlab, Simulink, Labview and Microsoft Robotics Developer
Studio.
Hardware
The omnidirectional drive consists of three Mecanum wheels, all of
which are individually controllable. These wheels are arranged at
angles of 120. Robotino has a bumper sensor around its
circumference, infrared distance sensors, a color camera with VGA
resolution, optical wheel encoders, power measurement for the
entire system and the various motors, as well as a battery voltage
monitor. Moreover, as optional additional sensors, Robotino can be
equipped with a precise laser scanner, a gyroscope, and an indoor positioning system (created by Evolution
Robotics). For signal input and output Robotino has several interfaces: tam
USB
Ethernet
8 digital and 8 analog inputs
8 digital outputs
additional motor output for driving high loads
additional encoder input
Power is supplied by two 12V/5Ah lead-acid batteries or optionally by two 12V/9Ah NiMH batteries.
