Robotino is a mobile robot system made by Festo Didactic, andused for educational, training and research purposes.
Operation
Robotino is based on an omnidirectional drive assembly, whichenables the system to roam freely. The robot is controlled by anindustry-standard PC system, which is powerful enough to planroutes for fully autonomous driving. Via a WLAN-Link, Robotinocan send all sensor readings to an external PC. In the other direction,control commands can be issued by the external PC. This way,control programs can run on the external PC or on Robotinodirectly. Mixed mode or shared control are also possible.
For users with little prior robotics knowledge, Robotino can bereadily programmed in its “native” programming environmentRobotinoView II. More experienced programmers may find it usefulthat the robot can also be programmed in C, C++, Java, .NET,Matlab, Simulink, Labview and Microsoft Robotics DeveloperStudio.
Hardware
The omnidirectional drive consists of three Mecanum wheels, all ofwhich are individually controllable. These wheels are arranged atangles of 120°. Robotino has a bumper sensor around itscircumference, infrared distance sensors, a color camera with VGAresolution, optical wheel encoders, power measurement for theentire system and the various motors, as well as a battery voltagemonitor. Moreover, as optional additional sensors, Robotino can beequipped with a precise laser scanner, a gyroscope, and an indoor positioning system (created by EvolutionRobotics). For signal input and output Robotino has several interfaces: tam

Power is supplied by two 12V/5Ah lead-acid batteries or optionally by two 12V/9Ah NiMH batteries.
