Team AmigoBot™ is the smallest member of the
Pioneer family of mobile robots, including the
Pioneer 1 and Pioneer AT, Pioneer 2™ -DX, -DXe, -
DXf, -CE, -AT, the Pioneer 2™-DX8/Dx8
Plus
and -
AT8/AT8

, and the newest Pioneer 3-DX and -AT
mobile robots. These small, research and
development platforms share a common
architecture and foundation software with all

platforms set the standards for intelligent mobile robots by containing all of
the basic components for sensing and navigation in a real-world environment. They
have become reference platforms in a wide variety of research projects, including
several US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) funded studies.
Every M

platform comes complete with a sturdy aluminum body, balanced
drive system (two-wheel differential with casters or four-wheel skid-steer), reversible DC
motors, motor-control and drive electronics, high-resolution motion encoders, and
battery power, all managed by an onboard controller and mobile-robot server software.
Besides the open-systems robot-control server software onboard the robot controller,
every
MobileRobots
platform also comes with a host of advanced robot-control client
software applications and applications-development environments. Software
development includes our own foundation Advanced Robotics Interface for
Applications (ARIA) and ArNetworking, released under the GNU Public License, and
complete with fully documented C++, Java, and Python libraries and source code.
Several third-party robotics applications development environments also have emerged
from the research community, including Saphira from SRI International, Ayllu from
Brandeis University, Pyro from Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore Colleges, Player/Stage from
the University of Southern California, and Carmen from Carnegie-Mellon University.

First introduced in 1995, the original Pioneer 1 mobile robot contained a controller based
on the Motorola 68HC11 microprocessor and powered by Pioneer Server Operating
System (PSOS) software. The next generation of Pioneer 2 and PeopleBot robots used a
Siemens C166-based controller with Pioneer 2 Operating System (P2OS) software.
AmigoBot introduced an
Hitachi H8S-based controller with AmigOS in 2000. From 2002
until Fall of 2004, Pioneer 3, Performance PeopleBot, and PowerBot robots also had an
Hitachi H8S-based controller with
Activ
Media Robotics Operating System (AROS)
software.
Now, all
Activ
Media robots use revolutionary high-performance controllers with
advanced embedded robot control software based on the new-generation 32-bit
Renesas SH2-7144 RISC microprocessor, including the P3-SH controller with ARCOS, uARCS
