Overview
Explore the capabilities of your developer kit with Intel® processor and the Edge Insights for Autonomous Mobile Robots (EI for AMR) software package preinstalled.
Upon successful completion of this guide, you should be able to:
- Understand the basic software setup of the developer kit
- Run a sample wandering application that includes mapping a robot's environment using the FastMapping algorithm, as part of a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) implementation
- Know where to find tutorials and references to expand your knowledge of EI for AMR, including how to add your own software to the EI for AMR system
Prerequisites
| Recommended Knowledge and Experience | You are familiar with executing Linux* commands. |
| Quick Start Card (included with the kit) |
The developer kit is already constructed and powered on, and you have logged in to the operating system. |
How It Works
Get Started
The links below provide step-by-step instructions on how to run the wandering sample application:
- Generate and maintain a representation of the robot's environment with VSLAM leveraging the depth image input of Intel® RealSense™ camera while wandering the environment and avoiding obstacles
Conclusion
You have now experienced autonomous mobile robotics on the developer kit with Intel® processor.
In this get started guide, we have explored a sample application that showcases autonomous robotics capabilities on Intel® architecture and introduced you to the Developer Guide to support future development.
Learn More
Explore additional documentation on the Intel® Edge Insights for Autonomous Mobile Robots documentation page with technical references, tutorials, Get Started Guides, and more.
- Create interoperable custom Docker* containers containing your own software, or customize provided Docker* images using the EI for AMR SDK.
Simulate on a Developer Station
- Learn how to use ROS 2 simuilations inside pre-built Docker* containers. Robot sensing and navigation can be tested in these simulated environments.
