Start Up of a Mobile Robot Experimental Platform with Embedded Hardware and Free Software

The start up of a differential wheeled mobile robot is presented here via the use of embedded hardware with free software. The main function of such an embedded hardware is the data acquisition and processing. To this end, predetermined programs of the embedded hardware along with new ones also designed with free software are employed. With the above, in the future, a robot that allows the implementation of control strategies, in a quickly and easy way, using low cost hardware and software is intended to obtain. The operation of the robot with the embedded hardware is experimentally verified, obtaining satisfactory results. Since, the experiments are, in general, similar to the results obtained in simulation.
