Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:LabRat TM is an autonomous, self-contained mobile robot kit with batteries, motors, two bumper whisker sensors, and three infrared proximity sensors that double as channels for "Rat-to-Rat" communication. The vehicle determines its position with an optical sensor that detects movement in both lateral directions. The LabRat TM design is completely open source, including software examples and libraries. LabRat TM is designed to fit inside the body of a computer mouse and has applications in the classroom, the lab and the home. The device has been successfully used in an undergraduate robotics class.
