Specifications & Controls

Chapter 3

ActivMedia’s Pioneer robots may be smaller than most, but they pack an impressive

array of intelligent mobile robot capabilities that rival bigger and much more expensive
machines. For example, the Pioneer 3-DX with onboard PC is a fully autonomous

intelligent mobile robot. Unlike other commercially available robots, Pioneer’s modest
size lends itself very well to navigation in tight quarters and cluttered spaces, such as

classrooms, laboratories, and small offices.

At the same time, the powerful AROS server with ActivMedia Robotics client software is
fully capable of mapping its environment, finding its way home, and performing other

sophisticated path-planning tasks.

HARACTERISTICS

Figure 9. Pioneer 3-AT’s console and hinged deck

Weighing only 9 kg (20 pounds
with one battery), the basic

Pioneer 3- and 2-DX8/DX8 Plus

mobile robots are lightweight,
but their strong aluminum body

and solid construction make

them virtually indestructible.

These characteristics also permit

them to carry extraordinary

payloads: The new Pioneer 3-
DX can carry up to 23 Kg (50

lbs.) additional weight; the 3-AT

can carry over 35 Kg (70 lbs.)
more! Yet, Pioneer 2s and 3s

are lightweight enough that it is

also as easy to transport as a
suitcasea task made even

easier by the DX's built-in
handle.
