The Quanser QBot 2 for QUARC is an innovative open-architecture autonomous ground robot built on a Kobuki platform. Equipped with built-in sensors, a Microsoft® Kinect vision system, and accompanied by extensive courseware, the QBot 2 is ideally suited for teaching undergraduate and advanced robotics and mechatronics courses. The open-architecture control structure allows users to add other off-the-shelf sensors and customize the QBot 2 for their research in areas such as

Usually Kobuki is controlled via the serial interface and using the provided C++ driver for Linux/Windows. In this example Kobuki’s firmware is running in an alternative control mode.
A simple random walker algorithm is running on the Arduino Uno board. Kobuki’s motor speeds are controlled via its analog inputs and bumper events are received through its digital outputs.
