  • The Pi-Puck extension board: A raspberry Pi interface for the e-Puck robot platform
    2017 IEEE RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2017
    Co-Authors: Alan G. Millard, Russell Joyce, Cristian Fleşeriu, Leonard Newbrook, James A Hilder, Liam J. Mcdaid, Wei Li, David M Halliday
    Abstract:

    This paper presents the Pi-Puck extension board - an interface between the e-Puck robot platform and a Raspberry Pi single-board computer that enhances the processing power, memory capacity, and networking capabilities of the robot at a low cost. It allows high-level control algorithms, wireless communication, and computationally expensive operations such as real-time image processing to be handled by a Raspberry Pi, while the e-Puck's microcontroller deals with low-level motor control and sensor interfacing. Although two similar extension boards for the e-Puck robot platform already exist, they are now out-dated and expensive in comparison. Our open-source hardware design and supporting software infrastructure offer an inexpensive upgrade to the e-Puck robot, transforming it into the Pi-Puck - a modern and flexible new platform for mobile robotics research.

  • ANTS Conference - The Pi-Puck Ecosystem: Hardware and Software Support for the e-Puck and e-Puck2.
    Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2020
    Co-Authors: Jacob M. Allen, Russell Joyce, Alan G. Millard, Ian Gray
    Abstract:

    This paper presents a hardware revision of the Pi-Puck extension board that now includes support for the e-Puck2. This Raspberry Pi interface for the e-Puck robot provides a feature-rich experimentation platform suitable for multi-robot and swarm robotics research. We also present a new expansion board that features a 9-DOF IMU and XBee interface for increased functionality. We detail the revised Pi-Puck hardware and software ecosystem, including ROS support that now allows mobile robotics algorithms and utilities developed by the ROS community to be leveraged by swarm robotics researchers. We also present the results of an illustrative multi-robot mapping experiment using new long-range Time-of-Flight distance sensor modules, to demonstrate the ease-of use and efficacy of this new Pi-Puck ecosystem.
