HCR_Mobile_Platform_with_Omni_Wheels_SKU__ROB0124-DFRobot

Introduction

HCR (Home Care Robot) with Omni wheels is a full metal open source mobile platform designed for home robotics use and development. Same as previous generations, the structure of the HCR is divided into 3 layers, each with slots for installing distance sensors, servos or cameras. There is also plenty of space for other expansions modules. More than that, equipped with 3 high torque Omni wheels with encoders, it is capable of all-direction pinpoint transitional motions and turning motions. The new HCR is compatible with a wide range of development tools including “Arduino”, “Raspberry Pi”or even a Windows OS PC, allowing functions such as line tracking, obstacle avoiding or graphical based interaction. With HCR, you can turn anything into mobile.
