The ReVolt project is a mobile robot developed as part of a personal research initiative under Stress Robotics. Designed from scratch using Onshape, the robot features a 3D-printed chassis that houses a LiDAR sensor, a Raspberry Pi 4, and an Arduino for seamless integration and control.

Technological Foundation

The robot operates on ROS 2, initially utilizing the Foxy distribution before migrating to Humble. Simulation and testing were conducted in Gazebo, ensuring accurate modeling and performance validation before deployment. RViz was utilized for visualization, aiding in fine-tuning navigation and autonomy.

Performance and Control

Equipped with 12V DC motors running at 110 RPM, ReVolt balances speed and precision, making it ideal for various applications. The robot supports both autonomous navigation and teleoperation, allowing control via gamepad or mobile phone.

Conclusion

The ReVolt project showcases a full cycle from simulation to real-world implementation, highlighting the capabilities and potential of modern robotics.
