Fire Bird V ATMEGA2560 Omnidirectional Robotic Research Platform

Description

Fire Bird V Omni Directional Robot is based on Fire Bird V ATMEGA2560 platform. It has three omni directional wheels 120 degrees apart. By changing velocity and direction of the wheels robot can move in any direction without changing its orientation. Fire Bird V will help you get acquainted with the world of robotics and embedded systems Specifications Microcontroller Atmel ATMEGA2560 as Master microcontroller Atmel ATMEGA8 as Slave microcontroller Sensors Five Sharp GP2D12 IR range sensor (80cm) (One in default configuration) (Also supports GP2D120 (30cm) and GP2Y0A02 (150cm) Eight analog IR proximity sensors (20cm) Eight analog directional light intensity sensors Three position encoders (extendable to four) Battery voltage sensing Current Sensing (Optional) Servo mounted sensor pod (optional) Wireless colour camera (optional) Ultrasound scanner (optional) Gyroscope and Accelerometer (optional) Magnetometer (optional) GPS receiver (optional) Indicators 2 x 16 Characters LCD Indicator LEDs Buzzer Control PC as “Master” and Robot as “Slave” in wired or wireless mode Distributed (multi robot) communication (Needs XBee module) Communication Wireless ZigBee Communication (2.4GHZ) (Optional) USB Communication Wired RS232 (serial) communication Simplex infrared communication (From infrared remote to robot) Dimensions Diameter: 28cm Height: 15cm Weight: 1800gms Power 9.6V, 2100mAh Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery pack and external Auxiliary power using battery charger.
