Project Scope
Description
- Remote Controlled Mobile Robot for Surveillance
- Would like an Operational Prototype bumping into things by April, 2012
- Educational On-going Project for Industrial Applications
- Design and Implementation to be Repeatable and as much Open Source as practical
Basic Requirements
- PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) Camera, e.g. Axis 213. Vertical telescoping would be nice
- 4WD able to navigate over 1" high obstacles and 20 deg incline with full payload
- Docking mechanism for recharging
- 802.11 wifi
- Laptop or SBC (Single Board Computer) for remote control using RDP or VNC
- Minimize cost of first operational prototype (so we aren't afraid to make mistakes)
- Use existing and open source resources as much as possible (so we can recover quickly from our mistakes)
Project Schedule
Initial Estimate, Nov 21, 2011
