Equipment

We have two TAG FRANK mobile robots (track based) which are normally controlled using an 80188 board running C(++) programs. We also have four of the MIT Rug Warrier robots. These may be used as the basis of a graduate course in mobile robotics.

There is a lot of robotics related material on the WEB.

A micromouse competition is organised by TCD Vision Group.
