Nomad 200
The Nomad 200 or N200[1] was a commercial research robot manufactured in the 1990s by Nomadic Technologies, Inc. It was a cylindrical robot around 1 metre tall and 20 inches in diameter and moved on three wheels. It could travel at 0.5 metres per second[2] and rotate at 60 degrees per second.[3]
The basic robot, comprising the mobile base and the control system, cost $16,000 in 1990. It could be equipped with 16 sonar sensors mounted around the circumference, 16 infra-red sensors, a magnetic compass, a TV camera and laser rangefinder system and two rows of ten contact sensors. The additional sensor systems cost between $1,500 and $7000.[2]
It was controlled by an on-board Intel 486 based computer system.[4]
