Chapter 19. Robotic Applications
Robotic applications provide an interactive and interesting way to learn and engage in the embedded development environment. The robotic applications can be complex, involving different type of sensors, responding to the sensors' data, and using complicated algorithms to maneuver the robots. At the same time, robotic applications can be simple, controlling a simple robot's movements. For academic institutions, robotics has been a learning resource for engineering students around the world.
For the hobbyist community, there is a huge audience who like to tinker with robotic hardware and develop applications for different types of robotic devices.
For the academic, hobbyist, and commercial developer community, Windows Embedded CE's real-time capability, wireless networking resources, multimedia resources, small footprint, and quick start-up time, along with the efficient Visual Studio IDE, provide the best development environment for a broad range of robotic applications.
In this chapter, we will cover simple robotic applications for CE, using C#, to help all levels of robotic enthusiasts engage in and develop CE robotic applications.
We will use a Stinger robot built with a CE-enabled robotic controller, the Serializer WL robot controller board, and the eBox-4300 running CE 6.0 to work through the exercises in this chapter. Even without the Stinger CE Robot, it's worthwhile to go through this chapter thoroughly to get an idea of how a CE-enabled robotic ...
