Open Service Robot Development Platform

Abstract:

Due to the urgent requirements of the current domestic robots development and technical talents, this paper has proposed a methodology on service robot development platform, which is used to achieve the target of basic teaching and stimulate students' creativity. The development platform is composed of mechanical structure, hardware and software control systems. The advantages of the platform are modular, openly designed and easily restructured. So, the robot technology can be developed on the platform. The platform integrates machinery, electronics, communications, computer technology etc. Especially, the control software adopts 3D simulation technology besides network management and remote control functions. It is well-known that Single-arm robot is representative in the development platform. This robot is taken for examples of the mechanical structure, control systems and software design methods during the development platform. The results have been proved that the development platform is beneficial to improve students' practical abilities, help employment and highlight advanced studies.
