I. Introduction
The RoboMaster AI Robot 2020 Standard Version is comprised of the Chassis Module, Expansion Module, Gimbal
Module, Launch Module and Referee System Module.
The robot’s Chassis Module includes a set of Mecanum wheels which provide omni-directional movement to the robot.
The robot’s Expansion Module is an expansion platform installed on the Chassis Module that can be equipped with
external controllers (e.g. MiniPC, Manifold, etc.) and sensors (e.g. cameras, LiDAR, etc.), and includes a set of bumpers
around the robot that effectively mitigate the impact of any collision on the robot and significantly enhance the robot’s
service life. The robot’s Gimbal Module is able to complete rotational movements in the pitch and yaw degrees of
freedom, which enhances the flexibility and battle ability of the robot. The robot’s Launch Module is able to launch
RoboMaster 17mm projectiles. The robot’s Referee System Module contains sensors that can detect the value of HP
deduction suffered by the robot, and the Referee System Module will automatically power off and simulate the robot’s
defeat when the robot’s HP has been reduced to zero. It can operate multiple robots on the designated site when engaging
in designed battles.
Open-source control programs and complete development documents should be provided for the robot to facilitate the
developer in carrying out secondary development. The use of USB, CAN and UART as external communication interfaces
is supported, as external controllers (e.g. MiniPC, Manifold, etc.) can be used more easily to control robots, as users will
thus have more flexibility and be able to create a unique and fully automated robot solution.
