Abstract


The hardware architecture part of mobile research mini-robot has been considered in the [1]. The robot in topic is discussed as an element of the monolith software and hardware complex for multi-robot algorithm development. During practical use robots have been modified and improved: the main microcontroller has been substituted with the modern high-performance one based on ARM Cortex-M3 core, optional manipulator arm has been introduced, pre-certified ready-to-use radio communication module has been integrated instead of discrete one. Thenewarchitectureisdescribedinthepresentedpaper.
