ERA-MOBI Features

What distinguishes the ERA-MOBI from other mobile robots in this class? 

• Industrial-strength motors and aluminum alloy base, precision motion encoders
• Large, flat top plate for mounting sensors and peripherals
• Integrated controller + motor driver for precise high-speed control of the drive system
• On-board low-power PC with integrated wireless networking
  Accepts standard PC peripherals: cameras, speakers, etc.
• Open-source networked robot software system: Player/Stage
• Efficient sensor suite
   - Hokuyo Laser rangefinder
   - Stereo camera
   - Sonar ring
   - IR floor sensors
• compact, inexpensive, powerful. 
• Compared to the Pioneer 3 DX from ActivMedia/MobileRobots, the ERA-MOBI platform costs 1/3 the price or less for better features - see the feature comparison here. 
• You can afford an ERA-MOBI + laser rangefinder + stereo camera for less than you would pay for a P3DX without the laser or stereo!
• High-level control software for the ERA-MOBI is provided by the open-source Player/Stage system, supported by a large user base.  There are custom, open-source drivers for ERRATIC hardware and peripherals.  ERA-MOBI offers a true out-of-the-box experience.
