Comparison of Small Autonomous Robots by the Analysis of their Functional Components

Abstract

This report contains a brief review and analysis of several existing small autonomous robots in the U.S. This comprehensive study includes a description of their application area, sensing capabilities, computing facilities, degree of physical autonomy, and supporting software. Specific designing assumptions from this analysis have been presented for construction of our GMU Intelligent Explorer autonomous system.
