On the Hardware and Software Architecture of the Robuter Mobile Platform: a Hands-On Approach
Ref: HURRAY-TR-051103       Publication Date: 1, Nov, 2005

Abstract:
The Robuter is a robotic mobile platform that is located in the “Hands-On” Laboratory of the IPP-Hurray! Research Group, at the School of Engineering of the Polytechnic Institute of Porto. Recently, the Robuter was subject of an upgrading process addressing two essential areas: the Hardware Architecture and the Software Architecture. This upgrade in process was triggered due to technical problems on-board of the robot and also to the fact that the hardware/software architecture has become obsolete.
This Technical Report overviews the most important aspects of the new Hardware and Software Architectures of the Robuter. This document also presents a first approach on the first steps towards the useof the Robuter platform, and provides some hints on future work that may be carried out using this mobile platform.
