Developing rapid prototype-capable applications for industrial mobile robot platforms

Abstract

The paper summarizes our ideas and solutions in the subject of developing a rapid prototype-capable robot platform. Constructing a robotic platform for scientific researches means to find a robust electrical and mechanical system which is connected to a high computational device and it is easily programmable. Usually the first two features can be funded in industrial robots which unfortunately do not possess the last two. The presented solution refers to a mobile robot (Neobotix MP500) tuned with an extra computer and programmed with LabVIEW.

An abstraction of the Lidar measurements

“…The proposed abstraction has been a subject of simulation and for this reason the simulation environment proposed in [25] have been used. The simulation scenario consist on a trajectory tracking in to a maze.…”

“…Using the simulation and experimental platform proposed in [25] a sensor measurement can be represented like in Fig. 2 or in Fig.…”
