Fast Autonomous Mobile Robot Platfrom

Service robots are not yet off-the-shelf products. Why ? Because there are subjects that need researching an improving until the first real service robot can go into production. One requirement of service robots would be to integrate into a human environment by moving and navigating at the same speed as humans do. Current autonomous mobile robots are usually moving slow or even stop to take measurements. That would be a hindrance for other people passing. Slow robots are inefficient or even useless, since the user might rather do the job himself, if it is quicker. This project is about proposing a robot platform that can navigate fast and therefore making mobile robots more useful for real world applications. The homepage is still under construction, but here is the source code of the Micro controller and the Linux based navigation software.
