Location

MIT Building E-51, Room 395

Presenters

Mark L. Woodward , Software Engineer - markw mohawksoft com

Summary

Mark demonstrates his sub-$500 robotics platform

Abstract

With the abundance of commodity computing hardware combined with the wealth of free and open software, you can build a mobile robotic platform for about $500. All it takes is some left over computer equipment, a child's rinde-around toy, a PS/2 ball mouse, an I/O board, ATX DC power supply, and some ingenuity!
