Data Sheet

Sensors
X80Pro offers full WiFi (802.11g) 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 X80Pro 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.
Architecture
The X80Pro’s underlying technology evolved from Dr Robot’s Distributed Computation
Robotic Architecture, originally developed for Dr Robot’s Humanoid (HR) Robot. Using
this approach, high-level control of the robot is maintained by a remote or local PC/server
communicating by a secure wireless link. Low-level functionality is managed by an
onboard digital signal processor (DSP) while computationally intensive operations are
performed offboard. The result is a robot that’s lighter, draws less power, runs longer and
is dramatically less expensive than a fully bundled or self-contained system. Moreover,
since primary processing resides in a server, any hardware upgrades to the central unit are
shared by all the robots it controls.
With its integrated high bandwidth (11Mbps) WiFi 802.11 wireless module, the system
can upload all sensor data (including encoder sensor readings) to a PC or server at rates in
