Steuerung einer mobilen Roboterplattform mit einem vorgegebenen eingebetteten System und Echtzeitbetriebssystem

In cooperation with HighTec EDV-Systeme GmbH and Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft in Saarbrücken Fraunhofer IAIS advances the robot assembly kit ProfiBot to a mobile robot platform. It shall be used in university context. In this thesis a specified embedded system and real time operating system (both from HighTec EDV-Systeme GmbH) is used, to implement the motor control and the movement of the vehicle. The user should be able to control the mobile robot platform with an application programmer interface (API). The API needs input as physical values and returns physical values as output. To use the mobile robot platform flexibly for extended applications, some analogue and digital input and output ports are adapted to the embedded system by an additional circuit board. It is possible to connect a program start switch, state LEDs, four bumpers to detect an obstacles and analogue sensors with standard signal. Finally the controller will be calibrated and tested
