CRX10
Encyclopedia
The CRX10 is an autonomous
mobile robot
platform for education, training and research that was developed by South Korean robotics company CNRobot. CRX10 supports MSRDS, SPL (Simple Programming Language), AVR
(C languages) and Android programming languages. The CRX10 was unveiled on May, 2011.
and 4 audio sensors. Robot communication is possible via cable (UART), Wi-Fi
(Bluetooth
) with GAP and SPP profile or dipole antenna
with communication distance is more than 100 m. CRX10 supports TTL serial interface.
The CRX brain is based on Atmega128
and Atmega88 Dual Processor. The robot operates either with Lithium-ion battery and can be recharged regularly from a wall plug or 6 cells primary batteries
.
CRX10 can be controlled via Android-based smartphone. Robot has 4 buttons on the top of the CRX10’s bumper that can be assigned to different custom-defined programs or actions.
Robot platform can be transformed from 4 wheels to 2 wheels drive, has double-wide wheels, 3 rubber ring-shaped coverings fit around each wheel rim to enable a close contact with the ground, wheel diameter is 64 mm. Robot speed is 1 meter per second.
Dot Matrix
8x8 on the top of CRX10 body can be used for displaying different graphic, emoticons or characters.
The robot comes fully assembled and tested with 9 ready to use robot activities or services in VPL and educational materials for teachers.
CRX10 can carry objects using a detachable payload tray that may weigh about 10 kg.

Dipole antenna
A dipole antenna is a radio antenna that can be made of a simple wire, with a center-fed driven element. It consists of two metal conductors of rod or wire, oriented parallel and collinear with each other , with a small space between them. The radio frequency voltage is applied to the antenna at...

Primary cell
A primary cell is any kind of battery in which the electrochemical reaction is not reversible, rendering the cell non-rechargeable. A common example of a primary cell is the disposable battery. Unlike a secondary cell, the reaction cannot be reversed by running a current into the cell; the chemical...
