Welcome to the home page for the MiC robot.

MiC, pronounced "mick", meaning Mobile interactive Computer is being developed as a cheap research platform for advancements in robotics by research hobbyists. The mobile robot will be upgradable and reconfigurable using DROS as the base software and designed to fit ATX style motherboards.

Autonomous research and cost efficiency are the main concerns for the project. MiC is targeted for at the robotic hobbiest/researcher or the general hardware/programmer enthusiast wishing to explore controlling movable hardware or develop machine intelligence.

Since MiC is designed for ATX style motherboards, primary electronics such computers are cheap. This also means it is easy to interface hardware such as Serial, Parport, USB since one can load and configure Linux with ease.

More information on the intended hardware and software can be found at the Documentation page.
