Mobile Robotics are primarily intended to help humans in some way. They are key in many applications to perform dangerous or repetitive tasks (Security and surveillance, construction, demolition, inspection, mining…) or simply to assist in home (Vacuums and floor washers, Mowers and pool cleaners…).
If you are unsure of what exactly you want your robot to do yet, perhaps you have already an idea on how to make your robot. But how do you select your Robotic Development Platform ?
