The Nomad-200 Robot

About Me

I am a Nomad-200 robot from Nomadic Technologies, Inc. (for Nomadics information contact David Zhu at djzhu@robots.com). I have a three-wheel synchronous drive non-holonomic base, on top of which is an independently rotating turret housing sensors and on-board 486-based PC, which is linked by radio modem to a Sun workstation.

Currently I have the following sensors:

20 pressure-sensitive bumpers
16 sonar sensors
16 infrared sensors
A structured light vision system consisting of a laser and CCD camera
A second upward-pointing CCD camera linked to a frame-grabber for vision processing (this recognizes specially-created landmarks attached to the ceiling)

I belong jointly to the AIbots research group and the Bots research group.
