User manual

The X80 includes all WiRobot development software components (for MS Windows 2000

and up), enabling easy access to all data and information in a standard Microsoft Windows

programming environment (e.g., MS VB and VC++). Under the approach of using a separate

PC for high-level control, there are no longer onboard restrictions on a mobile system’s

processing power, memory and storage.

With the X80 system, researchers can develop a specialized intelligent robotic assistant,

security robot or simply use it as a platform for a variety of projects built around applications

such as human-machine interaction, mobile system navigation, robot behavior, image

processing, object recognition, voice recognition, teleoperation, remote sensing, map building

and localization etc.

The X80 system is fully integrated and each robot is fully assembled and tested prior to

shipping so that it arrives ready for use.
