Robotics Lab
Description
The Robotics Lab is a mobile robot with omnidirectional wheels. The platform is equipped with a set of sensors and a manipulator with 4 degrees of freedom. The platform can be used as a laboratory bench for universities and a robotics application development platform for research groups. Combining a powerful NI Single-Board RIO controller with the robust NI LabVIEW Robotics Module allows using the platform for rapid deployment and development of robotics solutions.
The delivery software package of the platform contains open source demonstration software which allows the users to reuse the ready drivers of the sensors and VIs to develop their own applications.
The platform can be powered both from built in battery and from external power supply and has smart charger which allows rapidly charging the battery and extending the battery life.
