1. Introduction This document is intended to explain the function of the Asuro Robot with the Asuro xTend board. The focus will be kept on the implemented software functions, but since it is a embedded System we have to explain the hardware functionality and the interaction between the Asuro Robot and the Asuro xTend. The software programming language is C++ - all library function and the demo program are based on this language.

2. Asuro Architecture 2.1 Asuro Robot and Asuro xTend Block Diagram The Asuro Robot and the Asuro xTend are working as a Master/Slave-Configuration. The Asuro Robot is the Slave and the Asuro xTend the Master. To control the Asuro and to solve tasks with the available sensors can be split into the following parts: 1) Master The Demo program or your application software will run here. Messages or data can be display on the LC-Display and the optional sensor module (e.g.

2.3 Asuro xTend The Asuro xTend board has got a powerful micro controller, two IC2 bus and two UART interfaces and a LC-Display. Additionally, two Sharp distance sensors can be attached. All sensors will be read and used in the algorithms to let the robot drive ‚autonomously’. In this configuration, you will put your programs on the xTend board. Under normal conditions you don’t have to change the provided Asuro Robot software. 3.
