Robot Reference Platform
From HBRC Wiki
What is it?
The Robot Reference Platform (RRP) is a common set of hardware and software that can be used to build robots capable of complex behaviors, such as autonomous navigation and object manipulation. The current RRP consists of a PandaBoard and a Linux image that you can load onto the board.
It has been recognized that keeping up to date with the latest high end processor boards is a never ending effort. As each individual strives to make progress with the next, latest and greatest development, a lot of time is spent reinventing and rediscovering solutions that work.
It is hoped that by defining the RRP and pooling all of the knowledge and information that goes into configuring it, building kernels, selecting software packages, finding additional peripherals and drivers etc, we can advance the use of the RRP and accelerate user progress with these latest exciting technology.
These Wiki pages will document the configurations, software, hardware etc needed to use the RRP reliably and easily on robots. This will be a starting point for an evolving process for keeping the information about the RRP up to date and available to all.
