A robot can loosely be defined as any mechanical system that can observe and physically interact with its environment with some degree of autonomy. To do so, it requires sensors (which perceive its environment), actuators (which produce the necessary motions to carry out some physical task), and some method of computation (to act according to prior and/or learned knowledge), all of which must be integrated into a cohesive system. This poster gives a high level overview of these core concepts in general robotics and how they are implemented in the Duckiedrone, a quadcopter kit produced by the Duckietown Project. It also touches on some open-source mapping algorithms and discusses their applicability for outdoor mapping with the Duckiedrone.
