Robotino

Robotino is a mobile robot system made by Festo Didactic, and used for educational, training and research purposes.

Robotino is based on an omnidirectional drive assembly, which enables the system to roam freely.

The robot is controlled by an industry-standard PC system, which is powerful enough to plan routes for fully autonomous driving.

Robotino has a bumper sensor around its circumference, infrared distance sensors, a color camera with VGA resolution, optical wheel encoders, power measurement for the entire system and the various motors, as well as a battery voltage monitor.

Moreover, as optional additional sensors, Robotino can be equipped with a precise laser scanner, a gyroscope, and an indoor positioning system (created by Evolution Robotics).
