Autonomous mobile robot, picking up anything in its path
Robot Details
This robot consists of a mobile platform with 4 independent drive motors and a 3 degree-of-freedom robot arm attached to the front. The robot navigates around, avoiding large obstacles, until it finds an object that it is able to pick. It moves towards that object and uses the moutned arm to pick it up. The robot then returns the object to a pre-programmed location such as a basket for dog toys.
