I start the ZIG project to use the knowledge to learn with the Robì project in order to build a mobile robot that can move indoors in an industrial playground
The configuration of this rover is very different from robì, in fact, this mobile robot implements a 3 wheel design and feature a closed-loop control on the speed of them using encoders.
You can also notice that this project uses a lithium battery and a centralized energy system that provide the correct voltage to any part of the rover.

For the software part, I rely on the use of a Raspberry Pi with ROS kinetic. This allows me to drive all the component of the robot in a well-established environment. Thanks to the MOPRPH project I can be able to rapidly arrive at a functioning prototype.

Component:

  • 2 VESC
  • 2 BLDC MOTOR
  • 2 ENCODER
  • 10 A BATTERY @ 19 V
  • KINECT
  • RASPBERRY PI
  • LIDAR
  • IMU
  • XBOX CONTROLLER

FUTURE UPGRADDE

  • NVIDIA TX2 OR XAVIER (TO INCREASE COMPUTATIONAL PERFORMANCE)
  • 5G NETWORK (FOR COMLEATE REMOTE MONIORING )
