Welcome back to Part 2 of our multi-part Coursera’s Control of Mobile Robots (CMR) series. This series implements concepts learned from CMR with ROS and a ROSbots robot.ROSbots is a ROS + OpenCV robot kit for Makers based off a Raspberry Pi. The robot kit is designed to be an accessible and extremely hack-friendly platform for breadboarding, adding other sensors and actuators to implement any new #robotics concepts you come across. Our code is open source on Github.The kit takes about an hour to assemble. To avoid the pains of compiling ROS and OpenCV yourself, we have a Raspbian ROS + OpenCV SD card image you can download and use.In Part 1 of our series, we wired up the ROSbots’ L9110 motor driver and implemented the ROS node to have the UNO board drive our robot’s wheels. The ROS firmware (...)
