The ZeeRO Mobile Robot - A Modular Architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the general architecture of the ZeeRO mobile robot, with an emphasis on its main modules: navigation, sensors and data processing. The interface with the Player server that allows simulations in 2D (Stage) or 3D (Gazebo) is also presented. The last part of the paper presents some applications for this mobile robot, some of the performed tests and also some of the future plans for the extension of the current architecture.
