Fire Bird V ATMEGA2560 Robotic Research Platform with Raspberry-Pi
Fire Bird V Atmega2560 Robot Research Platform with Raspberri-Pi is a standard AVR miconctroller based Fire Bird V which is fitted with Raspberry-Pi SBC(Single Bord Computer) and higher resolution encoders.
Fire Bird V will help you get acquainted with the world of robotics and embedded systems. Thanks to its innovative architecture and adoption of the ‘Open Source Philosophy’ in its software and hardware design, you will be able to create and contribute too, complex applications that run on this platform, helping you acquire expertise as you spend more time with them. Fire Bird V is designed by NEX Robotics and Embedded Real Time Systems lab, CSE IIT Bombay.
With readily available Generic libraries APIs for interfacing the FireBird V Platform with Rasberry Pi, user can develop the real time applications based on Image Processing, Intelligent Navigation, IoTs, Artificial Intelligence and many more.
