• Dual sterio cameras (2MP each)

• 1024 ppr custom designed optical encoders in each wheel

• All wheel drive

• Front and back wheel steering

• 9 Dof IMU

• Custom ECU board to interface computer with hardware

• Custom software driver for communicating with the robot over USB

• BLDC motor with FoC

• BLDC auto thermal shutdown for safe operation

• Wifi communication with external computers (mostly for Vicon feedback)

All Designs are in numerous repositories under ARPG Lab’s Github

• Hardware drivers

• Encoder PCB

• ECU PCB

• ECU Firmware
