THE NEW FULLY ASSEMBLED AND EXPANDABLE ROBOTIC DEVELOPMENT PLATFORM

The RP6 is a low cost autonomous mobile robot system, designed as an introduction to the fascinating world of robotics for both beginner and experienced individuals in the fields of electronics and software development

The robot is delivered completely assembled, and as such is very well suited for all users who want to concentrate on software development while allowing you scope to implement your own circuits and add
additional features to the robot in your own time scale.

The RP6 offers many expansion possibilities and may be used as a platform for a variety of interesting
electronic and artificial intelligence experiments!

 

THE RP6 DESIGN INCLUDES:

- The powerful ATMEGA32 microprocessor from Atmel, programmable in C
- USB interface
- a new expansion system with improved assembly options
- high resolution odometry sensors (resolution is 150x higher compared to the predecessor system)
- a precise voltage regulator (this was only provided as an expansion module for the old system)
- a bumper composed of two microswitches with long levers to act as whiskers
- Left and right front mounted Infra-red collision avoidance sensors
- The experiment expansion module for your own circuits and sensors
- The well proven mechanical design adopted from the RP5 system. optimized for lower noise operation and with additional drilling holes for mechanical expansions.

     

RP6 EXPANSION CAPACITY

RP6 Protype Board

RP6 - M32 Microprocessor Expansion Board

 

The RP6 Prototyping System

The suite of sensors on the basic RP6 platform are well above the average of comparable robots in this price class, but the expansion prototype board as supplied with the RP6 is one of the most useful features of the system, allowing you to easily add additional Sensors, Processors and electronics to the Robot.
The prototype board is supplied with standoffs, board mounting sockets and interlink cables to allow mounting and connection to the RP6 main PCB.

 

 

The M32 Microprocessor Expansion Board

The RP6 - M32 Microprocessor Expansion Board is the first in a series of optional modules.
This module enables you to upgrade your robot with an additional Atmel ATMEGA32 Microcontroller, and as with the Pprototype Board, it is supplied with the hardware to allow imediate mounting and connection to the RP6 main PCB.

This module includes additional I/O ports,memory and further board space for more memory.
see page 2 for further details of the RP6 - M32 Microprocessor Expansion Boad
