Magic 2 Robot

In the past year, we have been building the next generation of the robot platform we used to win the MAGIC 2010 competition. The latest iteration has a number of improvements over the previous model:

  • An upgraded drivetrain allows the robot to drive more quickly and quietly

  • All on-board electronics have been integrated into a single circuit board, de-cluttering the interior of the robot and making maintenance easier.

  • With new all-terrain tires, the robot can drive over small obstacles and operate in muddy areas.

  • We are developing several additions to the existing sensor suite, including an omnidirectional camera, a high-frequency, short-range obstacle detector and an LED display panel.
