PLUTO PROJECT
Embedded SYSTEM
The Plutobot(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0) is a 2WD ground bot based on a fork of linorobot, an open platform for ground robot (2WD, 4WD, Meccano, Ackermann) that provides a convenient ROS environment for SLAM (Self localization and mapping) and autonomous navigation. linorobot2 and ROS2 are for plutobot 5.0(the base principle is same for all generations).
The features added to the original linorobot are:
- ESC and Brusheless motor controller with hall sensor RPM encoder
- Pluto ROS node manager
- Webapp
ROS ENVIRONMENT
A quick start to connect to the robot, assuming you have a working ROS environment setup, is to follow the quick start in the pluto wiki.
