The Open Hardware Mobile
Manipulator project was started by the
Geometric and Physical Computing group
at Northeastern University College of
Computer and Information Science. The
group set out to design a small mobile
robot with a manipulator arm for
educational use. A design goal was to
use off-the-shelf hardware and software
as much as possible. Pololu Orangutan
SVP and Pandaboard microcontrollers are
used. There are no custom PCBs. CAD
files are provided for creating a variety of
3D printed and laser-cut components.
Once all of the parts are available, the only tools needed to assemble them are pliers and a screwdriver. Custom
software was developed which integrates a number of existing free software robotics libraries such as OpenCV,
JavaCV, and libfreenect. Current work is underway to develop an ROS interface. The total build cost is estimated
at $1,730 USD. No kits or assembled robots are available at this time.
