Mobile robot GUARDIAN
1 / 2Pages

GUARDIAN has high mobility and modularity. The Robotnik platform uses architecture ROS and it is suitable for research, security and inspection. Product Guardian is a mobile platform specially designed for applications in areas as security, inspection and research, due to its high mobility, that allows it to move in places difficult to access for other kind of platforms (stairs, slopes, rough terrain...). The robot is able to integrate serveral sensors (indoor/outdoor laser, cameras, 3D cameras, inertial measurement units, GPS ...) and actuators (WAM arm, modular arm, LWA 4P arm, stereovision, pan-tilt units ...). Guardian offers a wide space inside to incorporate multiple CPUs, which allows for greater on-board processing for vision, laser telemetry or RTK-DGPS. The robot has a weight of 120Kg, so it can carry up to 100 Kg of additional equipment. It just requires a little control briefcase. The control architecture is open-source and modular, based on ROS (http://www.ros.org). ROS framework defines a well organized robot software architecture and includes hundreds of user contributed packages and sets of packages called stacks, that implement functionalities as localization and mapping, planning, manipulation, perception, etc. This characteristic simplifies the software development cycle and allows easy integration and reutilization of software components whether they are device drivers or state of the art algorithms in vision, SLAM, point cloud processing, grasping, planning, swarming, etc. Applications - Research and development. - High mobility indoor / outdoor navigation. - Search and disposal of improvised explosive devices (IEDD) or explosive ordenance devices (EOD). - Remote surveillance. - Remote measurement and mapping.
