I.R.I.M also known as Inexpensive Robot with Interior
Mapping consists of a four wheeled platform large enough to accommodate its
main sensor the Kinect for
Windows and the circuit boards which makes the mapping
and navigation of the robot possible. The navigation of the robot is autonomous and the mapping is created through the use of the Robot
Operating System, also known as ROS. The MSP430F5529 is used to do motor control, Wi-Fi, and IMU data forwarding. The ODROID XU3 is used to handle the data from the Kinect and forward it to a laptop.
