Overview
AMIGO is an acronym for Autonomous Mate for IntelliGent Operations. AMIGO is a service and care taking robot of the University of Technology Eindhoven. It is used as a demonstrator in several projects, e.g., Bobbie Robotics and RoboEarth. Furthermore, it competes in the RoboCup@Home league on behalf of Tech United Eindhoven.
Figure 2 shows a picture of the CAD model of AMIGO. It roughly consist of:
- an head combined with a laser range finder to visualize the environment;
- two Philips Experimental Robotic Arms (PERA) to grab and manipulate with it surroundings;
- a torso containing a spindle which enables AMIGO to move its upper body up and down and;
- a base containing the batteries, electronics and four omni wheels.
