Introduction
ASURO is a mobile mini-robot, completely programmable in C and especially developed for education
at the German Aerospace Centre DLR, department for Robotics and Mechatronics. Assembly is easy
for experienced electronic technicians and feasible for a novice. Except for the printed circuit boards
(PCB) only standard parts for assembly will be used.
For programming we use freeware only. Therefore ASURO is exceptionally suitable as an introduction
into processor-controlled hobby electronics, for projects in schools and universities, for studies and
adult education centres. Special tools, which are freeware for private users, have been used for all
electronic development phases and software design, proving how robots can be designed without
using expensive tools or machines.
ASURO is equipped with a RISC-processor and two independently controlled motors, an optical line-
tracer, six collision-detector switches, two odometer-sensors, three optical displays and an infrared-
communication set for programming and remote control by a PC (see fi g.
0.1 ).
The Caution-symbol signalizes paragraphs with warnings, to be studied intensively, to
prevent damage to components or personal health.
We must inform all users, ASURO is no toy and is not to be handed out to children under the age of
three years, as they may swallow the dozens of small components.
Please provide some batteries and start the assembly!
And yes: ASURO is another way of saying: “Another Small and Unique Robot from Oberpfaffenhofen!”
