DESCRIPTION
Elisa-3 is an Educational-Robots from GCtronic. It is built for Research, Education. Key figures: 0 kg, 180 min runtime, price 340 CHF–390 CHF, released 2012.
Elisa-3 is GCtronic's miniature swarm robot, a round robot just 5 cm across and 39 g, and the third version of its Elisa robot, introduced in January 2012. Built for swarm and multi-robot research, it is Arduino compatible, talks to a PC through a 2.4 GHz radio base station that can address fleets of up to 100 robots, and drives itself into a charger station to recharge without unplugging its battery. An 8-bit Atmel ATmega2560 runs it, with 8 infrared proximity and ambient-light sensors, 4 ground sensors that detect the edge of the surface, a 3-axis accelerometer, a central RGB LED under a light diffuser, 8 green LEDs and an infrared remote-control receiver. Two DC motors with back-EMF speed control reach up to 60 cm/s, and two small LiPo batteries give about 3 hours of autonomy with about 1.5 hours to recharge. A version with magnetic wheels can also climb vertical metal surfaces, and a wireless-charging option, a tracking set with cameras and Python, Arduino and Webots support are available.
