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...
