摘要 VolksBot 是一款模块化移动机器人构建套件，在过去 3 年中开发，以满足研究和教育以及基于应用的快速原型制作的需求。基于组件的方法提供了一个插件架构，在电子硬件、软件和机械方面具有开放接口。精益和开放的结构促进了现有模块的可重用性，无论是硬件还是软件。最初这个概念被成功应用于室内应用。本文讨论了这个概念，并展示了如何对其进行扩展以满足户外或崎岖地形等现实生活场景的更高要求。因此，VolksBot RT（崎岖地形）建造套件应运而生。举例说明如何在城市搜索救援和自主交通领域实现此类平台变体的特定领域快速原型设计。
Summary VolksBot is a modular mobile robot construction kit, developed during the last 3 years to fit the needs in research and education as well as in application-based rapid prototyping. The component-based approach offers a plug-in architecture with open interfaces in electronic hardware, software and mechanics. The lean and open structure fosters reusability of existing modules, both in hardware and software. Initially this concept was successfully applied to indoor applications. The article addresses this concept and shows how it was extended to fit the higher demands of real-life scenarios like outdoor or rough terrain. As a result, the VolksBot RT (Rough Terrain) construction kit is presented. Examples are given, how domain-specific rapid prototyping of variants of such platforms could be achieved in the fields of Urban Search and Rescue and Autonomous Transportation.
