The 1999 Mobile Robot Exhibition: Participant

Minnow

Tucker Balch, Jim Bruce, Anna Rillo, Sorin Achim, Manuela Veloso

The Minnow is the first prototype for a class of inexpensive yet high performance robots based on the TeamBots control system (formerly called JavaBots). The mechanical platform is based on a commercially available radio-controlled tank. The primary sensor is a color camera, with all vision processing (30Hz) and control onboard. Onboard processing is provided by a Pentium-based PC-104 main board running Linux and Java. Information on the TeamBots system is available at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~trb/TeamBots/
