Autonomous Robot for Teaching and Research
 Based on the iRobot Create vehicle, the Qbot is designed for engineering
teaching or research. Qbot is an autonomous ground vehicle and an ideal
platform for research in an the indoor lab environment. It can be used
in more advanced multi-agent missions involving other Qbots and Qball-X4 UAVs. It is also a valuable tool for teaching both basic or advanced
vehicle navigation and control.
The Qbot contains additional DAC hardware developed by Quanser
specifically for this vehicle platform as well as the Gumstix Verdex
embedded QuaRC target.
The Qbot system for teaching consists of the following components:
- QuaRC rapid prototyping software
- Comprehensive curriculum
- Qbot unmanned ground vehicle(s)
For technical specifications please download the Product Information
Sheet.
The Qbot system for unmanned vehicle research consists of several
other components:
- QuaRC software real-time control and multi-agent mission
development frameworks
- Ground control station
- Qbot unmanned ground vehicle(s)
- Localization system with cameras
- Optional: Qball-X4 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
