Linux-powered mobile robot communicates by email, webserver

May 12, 2003 — by LinuxDevices Staff — from the LinuxDevices Archive — views

Smart Robots Inc. (Dalton, MA) demonstrated a new Linux-powered autonomous mobile robot platform at the 10th annual Trinity College Fire-Fighting Robot Contest held in Hartford, CT this past April. The SR4 can travel at a speed of approximately 1.5 ft/sec — which may not sound fast, but at that speed it can traverse a distance… equivalent to the length of three football fields in 10 minutes. It also can send and receive emails and host data pages on its built-in webserver.
