I know what you'll say. '''ARP''' stands for ''Address Resolution Protocol''. | |||

I don't use the word arp often enough to warrant an other name, which I think it's easy to remember. | I don't use the word arp often enough to warrant an other name, which I think it's easy to remember. | ||
The project is about constructing an autonomous rover. | |||
It will be most likely be 4WD, packed with a number of sensors and cameras (perhaps kinect). | |||
One of the central ideas about the robot is that it should be able to identify a UK socket and plug and charge itself when the battery requires it. | |||
The idea is to build and mount an arm on the rover to be able to do some tasks at different heights, like charging for instance. | |||
The project is open source, as the code gets developed it will be published somewhere. | |||
'''Components''' | |||
For now here I will list all the components I have that could become handy within the rover. | |||
The full list will come here as more parts of the project come together. | |||
- 2 mbed LPC1768 http://mbed.org/ and three boards/shields (joystick, usb, eth, etc) | |||
- Kinect | |||
- raspberry pi | |||
