Development of a Low-Cost Education Platform

摘要

Ever since the inception of Robotics, it has served as a great collaborative platform for researchers from the fields of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science. Robot Operating System (ROS), one of the biggest middleware framework for robotics has lead to high paced research and development around the globe. In this paper, we present our work on developing a low-cost ROS enabled education platform for Indian research institutes. This paper begins with our learning of ROS using KUKA youBot and later goes on to discuss in detail the development of the indigenous platform: RoboMuse 4.0 and its integration with ROS.
