The Best Wheeled Robot for ROS Learning
■ Contents
-Main body set
-Raspberry Pi 4 B
-microSDHC 16GB (with OS and device driver)
-Lithium rechargeable battery
-Robot charger
-Cable for AC adapter
-Power supply AC adapter
*Use only the AC adapter to power the Raspberry Pi Mouse. No power supply is required from the USB connector on the Raspberry Pi board (it may lead to damage)
■ Features
-Can be handled relatively easily
-Any language is available
-Can be used for research and learning of artificial intelligence
-Can be controlled by ROS /RTM (*1, *2)
-Works with the shell (*3)
-Open source hardware
* 1 ROS (Robot Operating System): Middleware for robot control. It is distributed as open source and used for research on many robots around the world, and there is also a wiki in the developer community. By using ROS, you can reduce the time and effort to develop a robot. It is basically developed in open source. Also, most of the core software has a BSD license.
* 2 RTM: RT middleware. RT (Robot Technology / Robotic Technology) refers to various robot functional elements that can be used, not just a single robot. RTM (RT middleware) is a platform for modularizing these various functional elements and integrating them in software.
* 3 Since the device driver is prepared by RT, it can be controlled by the Linux shell.
In addition, it supports many other languages including C ++ and Java.
