Roboino
version 1.0
This robot is based on arduino and can be controlled via wireless LAN.
It has been designed and built by my as part of a university course.

version 2.0
Based on the Robot v 1.0 that might be remote controlled via WiFi an extended autonomic room measuring robot has been developed in the context of a university course.
Reusing the upper robot for this, the chain-drive was not an issue although this might be very cumbersome for measuring a room because it makes driving the robot very unpredictable. As i allways wanted to use an ultrasonic sensor on a robot, this robot concept was rapidly developed.
The one arduino used in roboino v 1.0 morphed into two arduinos for v 2.0 as additional sensors where planned and the measuring aperature has perhaps to be moved while driving and sensing. The measured data has had to be processed and a map to be calculated. As the Arduinos themselfes are not sufficient for this task we decided to use an sheevaplug for this.
