The Gbot Autonomous Mobile Robot


This robot was part of my thesis work. Basically, it's a differential steering robot with infrared sensors and a magnetic gripper. Actually, the main task implemented is the can collecting, where the robot first finds a light beacon, and then search for cans to carry to, all using odometry (that is, making position and orientation estimation). As a project, this robot wins the ELO Electrics Competition 2004 at Universidad Federico Santa Maria, Chile.
