Total solution for a DFRobot Devastator Tank mobile robot
This is a hobbist project I made for a robot tank.
The software stack of RobotControl has the following features:
- Seperate bottom half and upper half, decouple mechanic control and logic+camera.
- Support visual AI inference on the Robot (through an Neural Computing Stick).
- Support telebotics through TCP/IP network, allow remote control as well as telemetric through built-in camera on the robot.
- Kivy based client allow easy porting to multiple platform including Linux, Windows, Mac, Android.
The UI of telebotic looks like:
The project also comes with a reference hardware design, the hardware has the following features:
- Built with a single 180 degree fisheye camera.
- Dual servo driven camera allows better fovea vision.
- Bottom half is made from a DFRobot®️ Devastator Tank mobile robot platform, driven by a Romeo Arduino®️ board.
- Upper half is made from a Intel®️ Joule 570x board. Other x86 based board should also work.
- Upper half equipped with an AI stick -- Intel®️ Movidius Neural Computing Stick, provides low power real time AI inference.
Here is how the Robot tank cart looks like:
