Robotino is a mobile robot system for training and research from Festo Didactic . Robotino is moved by an omnidirectional drive . This means that Robotino can move freely ( holonomically ) on the plane . The industrial PC PC104 on Robotino allows autonomous driving.
Robotino sends sensor values to an external PC via wireless LAN . Control values can be sent to Robotino from the external PC. This means that control programs can be executed both directly on Robotino and on a workstation computer. Robotino is delivered with the graphic programming environment Robotino View. In Robotino View, control programs are displayed as data flow graphs. In a sequential function chart control programs can be integrated into an overall process. In addition, Robotino can be programmed in the languages C , C ++ , Java , .Net , Matlab , Simulink , LabVIEW , Robot Operating System (ROS) and MRDS .
The omnidirectional drive consists of three driven Allseitenrädern . The wheels are arranged at an angle of 120 ° to each other. Robotino has a bumper bar, infrared distance sensors , a color camera with VGA resolution, optical rotary encoders on the motors, current measurement on the entire system and the individual motors, and battery voltage monitoring. A gyroscope , North Star from evolution robotics and a laser scanner are available as additional sensors .
Robotino has several interfaces for input and output:
- 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-gel batteries .
