Desenvolvimento de uma giga de teste para plataforma robótica móvel

In this article we report the development of a Software Development Kit (SDK) to facilitate the creation of applications for a mobile robotic platform used in the areas of education and research, called RoboDeck. Based on this SDK, a test bench was created to be used with the Microsoft Windows operating system. The purpose of this bench was to allow the validation of the proposed SDK as well as to test RoboDeck functionality in a quick and practical way when it is received by some research or teaching institution that acquired it. There was the difficulty of running a checklist to see if the robot was fit to be used. That is, it had not suffered any problems during its transportation or coming with some manufacturing defect. With the development of this bench, it is currently possible, in little more than 15 minutes, to verify the main functionalities of the robot.
