The outdoor mobile robot Bulldog(Professional Robot) is a robust and versatile middle size platform designed for outdoor operations. All-terrain, all-weather four wheel skid-steer ,the robot can climb stairs, slope, and maneuver directly to a point of interest on rough road outside. the robot can be teleoperated, follow the leader or use GPS waypoint navigation .
Modular design and provide 5/12/24/48v power and reconfigurable I/O. make the robot easy to integrate serveral sensors (indoor/outdoor laser, cameras, 3D cameras,
inertial measurement units, GPS …) and actuators (light weight robot arm, stereovision, pan-tilt units …).
Based on open-source and modular, ROS (http://www.ros.org). framework simplifies the software development and allows easy integration and reutilization of software components whether they are device drivers or state of the art algorithms in vision, SLAM, point cloud processing, grasping, planning, swarming, etc.
