SPUTK Mobile Robot Educational Equipment Modular Product System
Mobile robot mod. SPUTK has been designed expressly for the development of applications of robotics such as remote control, telepresence and autonomous navigation. In detail, mobile robot mod. SPUTK is enabled for remote control even via Internet. TRAINING PROGRAM: • Programming techniques • Remote control • Telepresence • Studying Infrared, Ultrasonic and Passive Infrared Sensors • Control of DC motors MODES OF OPERATION Robot mod. SPUTK is enabled for three modes of operation: • Manual mode This robot moves along according to the controls sent bythe user. Control signals can be sent from a local or remotePC; furthermore the robot can be controlled via a joystick(included in the equipment) or with the mouse. • Automatic The robot moves along autonomously using the built-insensors to avoid collisions with near obstacles. • Stand By This mode enables the robot to be ready to receive controlsignals for a time period of 10 hours. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Motion The robot is provided with 3 wheels enabling it to move alongin any direction. Mechanical and Control elements: • 2 DC motors of 12 V; each motor can output a torque of 22kg/cm • Motors controlled by current and position feedback • 2 Encoders of 1200 pulses coupled to the motors • Diametre of wheels: 18 cm • Max. speed: 1 m/s • 7 degrees of freedom of which: - 5 degrees for head animation - 2 degrees for the mobile platform Electronic components: • Fully integrated WiFi system (802.11g): it supports UDP andTCP/IP protocols • Colour videos and images with built-in audio • Graphic LCD screen 128 x 64 for displaying icons, messagesor data of sensors • Collision sensors: - 3 ultrasonic sensors - 7 infrared sensors - 2 Passive Infrared sensors for detecting the heat of ahuman body.
