Design of a multi-purpose low-cost mobile robot for research and education
Mobile robots are commonly used for research and education. Although there are several commercial mobile robots available for these tasks, they are often costly, do not always meet the characteristics needed for certain applications and are very difficult to adapt because they have proprietary softw...

Mobile robots are commonly used for research and education. Although there are several commercial mobile robots available for these tasks, they are often costly, do not always meet the characteristics needed for certain applications and are very difficult to adapt because they have proprietary software and hardware. In this paper, we present the design principles, and describe the development and applications of a mobile robot called ExaBot. Our main goal was to obtain a single multi-purpose low-cost robot -more than ten times cheaper than commercially available platforms- that can be used not only for research, but also for education and public outreach activities. The body of the ExaBot, its sensors, actuators, processing units and control board are described in detail.

Finally, different configurations of the ExaBot are presented, showing several applications that fulfill the requirements this robotic platform was designed for. © 2014 Springer International Publishing. |
