Abstract
In this paper, we propose a robot platform which enables to construct conveniently. We have already proposed a method to construct robot by USB devices. However, the interface of the proposed devices only provide power supply and communication. To construct robot, we should do many things, fixing parts, getting device profiles, make programs to control robot, and so on. Some educational robots provide convenient way to construct robot. However, it demands to make the program according to the configuration of the connected parts. To solve these problems, we propose a rapid prototyping system with a Universal Robot Connector. It enables to construct robot system conveniently. We introduce the system with the Universal Robot Connector and confirm its effectiveness. Furthermore, we apply it to autonomous mobile robot.
