Mobile Robot Pioneer 2

With the money from the grant: “High Tech Offensive” it is planned to install a lab for mobile robots. The robot can drive and speak and after a later upgrade see. The students learn about the differences of detectors (ultras sonic, contact, gyro compass, laser scanner). They use radio data transmission between the robot and computer, and try to implement voice entry and response communication. This allows complex experiments like “real” communication with the users and independent route planning by the robot, etc. A second step is the installation of two video cameras on the robot to implement image processing.
