iRobot Nodes
NIT Laboratory (Network Implementation Testbed Laboratory)
NITOS team has made mobile nodes using "iRobot Create" with a custom designed tray to hold the system board. The board is an "Alix Board" of "PC Engines" company . Commands are sent to the robot over a serial port and the whole system is powered from the robot's battery. The upward facing camera is used to recognise specific patterns on the ceiling, which help the robot navigate around the room.
