GECKO3 robot

The gecko3robot platform is designed to meet the requirements for a small simple robot to be used during the first two years of digital electronics classes. For powering is a Li-Ion battery included in the robot's case. On the case is an interface to plug an RF sensor module for distance detection.To follow a line are some line sensors on the bottom site of the robot. To simulate a real vehicle the robot has two dc motors. The motors can work in four modes (left turn, right turn, blocked and freewheel)

The GECKO3 robot chassis is designed to house various GECKO3 modules.
