MARRTINO ROBOT

MARRtino is a ROS-based low-cost differential drive robot platform that comes in many shapes.

MARRtino has been designed to be easy-to-build and easy-to-program, but at the same time it uses professional software based on ROS. It is thus suitable to implement and experiment many typical Robotics and Artificial Intelligence tasks, such as smart navigation, spoken human-robot interaction, image analysis, etc.

MARRtino is being successfully used in a variety of educational activities, ranging from pre-school children to PhD and PostDoc in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics.

You can develop your own robot in five steps:

1. Acquire the hardware - Part list
2. Assemble the robot - Build
3. Install software - Software
4. Setup the robot - Quick Setup
5. Program the robot - Programming

If you want to try MARRtino functionalities in a simulator, you can install the software (Step 3) and program the robot (Step 5) using the simulation mode.

MARRtino robot is used within:

• Master in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy
• RoboCup@Home Education Workshop & Competitions organized by the RoboCup Italian Regional Committee

These photos and videos show different models built by students during several workshops.
