This thesis presents the conversion of an prototype robotic wheelchair into a mobile robotic platform with an installed drill for taking soil samples.
Initially, the general working principle of the RTK localisation system is presented. Afterwards, the installation and set-up of the base station and mobile station required for RTK localisation are introduced. The individual modules of the mobile robotic platform are then presented. The thesis summarises how we upgraded the robotic manipulator (drill) and converted the prototype robotic wheelchair, built in the framework of the Cybathlon project at the Laboratory of Robotics, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, into a mobile robotic platform with a drill. The main components of the mobile robotic platform and the TwinCAT software environment in which the control of the platform is implemented are presented and described.
The thesis concludes with a test of the mobile platform with the drill and the results of the RTK system measurements.
