One of
the most impressive aspects of a robot is how even the simplest
control circuit and equally simple mode of movement can produce
a viable behaviour which can almost look like a form of intelligence
All the mobile robot kits presented here are well made and both
instructive and interesting to build. Once built they can give much
enjoyment on their own or in conjunction with others of their own
kind or of different "species" in the range.
New to our range
of robots is the modular, tracked autonomous mobile robot system,
the RP6:
The RP6 is a low cost autonomous mobile robot System. It is equipped
with several sensors and a powerful ATMEGA32 8-git RISC microcontroller,
which is programmable in C with freely available open source tools.
Further, it offers good expansion and cusomisation possibilities.
The RP6 is ideal for educational purposes at universities or
schools.
It comes with a very extensive manual along with lots of example
programs and a hugh C function library. This makes programming very
easy and you can instantly start with the Robot. All library and
example programs are open source.
Similar to its predecessor, Robbie RP5, the RP6 has new control
electronics with a much bigger and faster processor, a new gearing
system for noise reduction, 150x higher encoder resolution (625
CPR) for precise speed regulation and several other new features
like a USB interface, a bumper panel in front of the Robot, a very
flexible I2C Bus based expansion system and six small expansion
areas on the mainboard.
Additionally the robot can be used as a base system for your own
developments, having connectors for stackable expansion boards.

RP6
TRACKED CHASSIS
The
RP6 tracked base is available as a separate, stand alone unit,
which can be used as a base for any robotic project. The chassis
is constructed from 2 symmetrical trays, which contain the motors
and the spur gears. Wheel axles and drive shafts are supported
in sintered bearings. The drives are industrial grade motors,
featuring high lifetime and an excellent efficiency, ensring long
operating periods with fully charged batteries.The rubber tracks
are each driven by two 44mm diameter wheels.
Due to the
well designed drive, the chassis is capable of passing over small
obstacles as well as steep gradients. The middle of the chassis
contains a battery holder for 6 AA-sized batteries. The 2 independently
controlled electric motors ensure good chassis mobility as the
speed and direction of each track is freely controllable
The RP6
chassis does not contain any electronics

ASURO
ROBOT KIT
ASURO is a superb, tiny mobile robot developed for educational purposes
by the German aerospace centre. It is very flexible and completely
programmable in C. Assembly is easy for experienced electronic technicians
and feasible for a novice.
Except for the printed circuit boards (PCB) only standard parts are
utilized and freeware tools can be used for programming. Therefore
ASURO is exceptionally suitable as an introduction into processor-controlled
hobby electronics, for projects in schools and universities, for studies
and adult education centres. Special tools, which are freeware for
private users, have been used for all electronic development phases
and software design, proving that robots can be designed without expensive
tools or machines.
ASURO is equipped with an Atmel AVR RISC-processor and two independently
controlled motors, an optical linetracer, six collision-detector switches,
two odometer-sensors, three indicator LEDs and a serial IR-Interface
for programming and remote controlling by a PC.
OUR PRICE: £36.99
ACCESSORIES
There are some additional parts available for the ASURO, in addition
to the RS232 IR transceiver included in the kit, allowing the PC software
to communicate with the AVR microcontroller.
These currently comprise:
USB IR TRANSCEIVER, designed to support modern PCs without
serial ports
OUR PRICE: £19.49
.
EXPERIMENT KIT, including 2 extension boards, pins, sockets,
etc for easy addition of your own circuits.
OUR PRICE: £6.99
"MORE FUN WITH ASURO" BOOK - Describes Asuro in more
detail than the accompanying manual and goes into advanced C programming
techniques. Includes an expansion board and describes how to
creat an untra-sonic ranger for ASURO
OUR PRICE: £12.89
