reDevil robot
ReDevil is an autonomous, all terrain mini class robotic vehicle based on an outdated, commercially available robotic product of 2000. It uses the chassis and motors of Real World Interface - iRobot's ATRV-mini robotic vehicle. Solar panels have been added at the basic configuration of reDevil to enhance and maintain the energy reserves. Its electronic components are contemporary, open source, off the shelf products. The software development is powered by linux and ROS.
The project's target is the low cost, yet efficient and reliable, renovation of an outdated product. The project was funded by the 2017 Postgraduate Studies Program of the School of Production Engineering and Management of the Technical University of Crete.
