GROOT
Ground robot built with a wide variety of sensors and flexible drive-train. The purpose of the system was to provide a single physical platform which could imitate a variety of vehicles with different drive kinematics and sensor load-outs. The system has a 4” suspension, revolute wheel assemblies, and a controllable range of 300 ft. The onboard sensors include a 3D Lidar, 360 camera, binocular camera, IMU, and GPS. All sensors and system control can be forwarded to a remote operator or control computer.
The brushless hubmotors provide substantial acceleration while the suspension and revolute wheel assemblies allow for extreme agility for a robot of this size.
