PRODUCT GUIDE A Complete Robot for Developers and Hobbyists ® www.drrobot.com Dr Robot Inc.
INTRODUCTION Sputnik is the next generation in Dr Robot’s line of research and development robots. Responding to requests for a robot that had the speed and payload of X80 with the development versatility of the DRK8080, we built Sputnik, a robot with the complexity expected of a research tool, but the simplicity of use required by hobbyists and enthusiasts.
Electronic System Highlights: Full color video and two-way audio capability. (CMOS color image module and audio module are fully integrated.) Fully integrated WiFi (802.11b) system with dual serial communication channels (max of 912.6 Kbps per channel), supporting both UDP and TCP/IP protocol. Battery: 2 9-cell 10.8V 4100 mAh Ni-MH battery packs with over 3 hours for nominal operation and stand-by time over 8 hours.
Sensors Sputnik offers full WiFi (802.11b) wireless, multimedia, sensing and motion capabilities and comes with a wide range of sensor, camera, and audio modules, sufficient to serve in any variety of applications. The robot offers broad expandability as well for projects that may require additional sensors, even specialized modules. Powered by separate RC servo motors, the integrated camera head can pan and tilt independently.
GETTING STARTED In order to set-up and operate the Sputnik SPK-1 robot, a PC operating on Windows 2000 or Windows XP with an Internet connection are required. For remote monitoring use (with the included Remote Access and Remote Monitoring software modules), you will need a separate PC similarly operating on a Windows 2K/XP platform with Internet access.
BUNDLED SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS: REMOTE ACCESS AND REMOTE MONITORING MODULES For hobbyists looking for immediate functionality, Sputnik comes with a suite of remote access and monitoring software modules. With these installed, Sputnik becomes your proxy while you’re away from home. Tap an IP connection anywhere and Sputnik’s eyes, ears and voice are at your service... Remote monitoring enables you to stop by your home when you’re actually away from home.
