The Dr. Robot Jaguar Lite Tracked Mobile Platform is designed for indoor and outdoor operation requiring faster maneuverability. The Jaguar-Lite is simply the Jaguar platform without the two articulated arms. It is fully wirelessly 802.11G connected. It integrates outdoor GPS and 9 DOF IMU (Gyro/ Accelerometer/Compass) for autonomous navigation. Jaguar-Lite platform is rugged, light weight (< 14Kg), compact, weather and water resistant.

It is designed for tough terrains and capable of climbing up stairs (up to 180mm step). The integrated high resolution video/audio and laser scanner (optional) provide remote operator detail information of the surrounding. Besides the ready to use control and navigation software, a full development kit including SDK, data protocol and sample codes, is also available.

The figure below illustrates the key components that you will identify on the Jaguar-Lite robot:

Operation Scenario

Diagram below illustrates the typical operation scenario. The Jaguar-Lite is a wireless networked outdoor mobile robot. It comes with a wireless 802.11 AP/router. The remote host controller PC running the "Jaguar Control" program connects to the Jaguar-Lite via Network cable or Wireless. End user could develop his own jaguar-lite program using the supplied development API and tools.

You could use the included Gamepad controller to navigate the robot. When used outdoor, especially under direct sunlights, head-mounted display (not included) will provide clear and large display with excellent outdoor experience.
