Description

Marvelmind Boxie is an autonomous mobile robot designed for smart warehousing, industrial applications, research and education.

Typical use cases:

  • Autonomous delivery of goods or baskets with goods/tools/inventory in warehouses, assembly plants (expensive gauges and similar), chemical plants (samples, etc.)
  • Autonomous (daily, nightly, hourly, etc.) inspection with optional cameras and additional measurement devices

Demos:

Materials:

SW:

The Marvelmind Boxie SW consists of:
 
To update the Boxie SW:
  • Download the Marvelmind Boxie SW pack
  • Copy the SW to a USB stick
  • Plug the USB stick into a rear USB port of Boxie
  • Press the Reset button on Boxie
  • The SW will be automatically in 1-2 minutes. Robot will give the voice announcements
  • Remove the USB stick right after the final announcement to prevent the loop update
  • The robot will do the final self-reset and become updated and ready
  • For more details follow the instructions in the Boxie Operating Manual
 
  • Odo board SW
  • SW for internal mobile beacons (“hedges”). Notice that there is separate SW files for the left hedge and for the right hedge. Left – from the robot’s point view, if the robot drives forward
  • The SW pack may also contain the Dashboard and the modem SW
 
For the very first time after getting the robot or for the very major SW updates, the Marvelmind Boxie SD card may be updated as well – it depends on the version of the robot you have. In order to do that:
  • Download the Marvelmind Boxie SD card – use only when the Micro SD card update is required
  • Since the SD card slot is inside the robot, a screwdriver and opening of top plastic cover around the display is required
  • This kind of update with the plastic cover opening is required only for some particular major SW updates
  • After that, the Boxie SW is updated via USB stick and is fully automatic and takes 1-2 minutes – see more about Marvelmind Boxie SW pack update above
  • Follow the steps in the Boxie Operating Manual

What is the maximum speed that this device can move?

  Reply

It is a relatively slow thing – up to 1-1.5m/s. Besides, there is a trade-off between the accuracy of movements and the speed.

In general, Marvelmind robots are not fast intentionally. If everything, absolutely everything goes wrong with the robot, it must remain safe, i.e. it must not be too heavy and too fast.

Is the API command for controlling from a PC using Wi-Fi publicly available?
I want to remotely control from a PC using C #, but I want to know in advance what kind of control can be done.

Yes, there is a such API. It is open and available. But it not using WiFi. It is using a license-free ISM radio in 915/868MHz.
Yes, it would be possible to control the robot from a PC.

Thank you for your reply.
Would you please let me know if there is a URL where the API is open to the public?

The API for Robot v100 is published and available. But the API for Boxie is not yet published. It is an enriched version of the Robot v100 API, because Boxie has significantly more functionality.
We will publish it soon.
