AgileX
The hardware package's components are designed to offer the user a plug-and-play experience. To assemble the hardware components, please follow the instructions in this chapter.
The following image shows the contents of the AgileX mobile robot package:
| Name | Quantity |
|---|---|
Mobile Robot body | x1 |
Battery charger (AC adapter) | x1 |
Aviation plug(4 pin) | x1 |
FS remote controller(optional) | x1 |
USB to CAN communication module | x1 |
To use the mobile robot with the AMAS app, the following steps need to followed:
Make sure the mobile robot is at sufficient charge.
Take the Aviation connector supplied with the mobile robot, and connect the USB to CAN communication module as per the instructions in the User manual provided by AgileX to pin number 3 and 4.\
For the robokit supply, a DC-DC converter is needed. Connect the VCC and GND pin to the correct Input pins of the DC-Dc converter.
Please note, different platforms from AgileX have different voltage output. Please consult either AgileX or Extend Robotics for the converters needed.
Once all the connections are made, plug the Aviation connector to the socket on the mobile robot. The entire system setup should be configured as depicted below:
Connect the power supply for the Router, RoboKit and SenseKit.
Ensure the network is configured for the robokit correctly.
Check the SenseKit model-specific instructions, make the necessary connections for the camera and connect the SenseKit to the routers well.
Configure the router settings to give network access to the RoboKit and SenseKit IP addresses. The IP addresses are found on the RoboKit and SenseKit cases.
Ensure that the emergency stop is released for the robot.
Once all connections are made, switch on the robot and wait for everything to initialize.
Start RoboKit and SenseKit, and check the connection using ping command on the VR computer.
If all components start correctly, the robot should get out of the parking mode and the control.
