Total solution for a DFRobot Devastator Tank mobile robot

This is a hobbist project I made for a robot tank.

The software stack of RobotControl has the following features:

• Seperate bottom half and upper half, decouple mechanic control and logic+camera.
• Support visual AI inference on the Robot (through an Neural Computing Stick).
• Support telebotics through TCP/IP network, allow remote control as well as telemetric through built-in camera on the robot.
• Kivy based client allow easy porting to multiple platform including Linux, Windows, Mac, Android.

The UI of telebotic looks like:

The project also comes with a reference hardware design, the hardware has the following features:

• Built with a single 180 degree fisheye camera.
• Dual servo driven camera allows better fovea vision.
• Bottom half is made from a DFRobot^®️ Devastator Tank mobile robot platform, driven by a Romeo Arduino^®️ board.
• Upper half is made from a Intel^®️ Joule 570x board. Other x86 based board should also work.
• Upper half equipped with an AI stick -- Intel^®️ Movidius Neural Computing Stick, provides low power real time AI inference.

Here is how the Robot tank cart looks like:
