Roomblock: Autonomous Robot using Roomba, Raspberry Pi, and RPLIDAR(3)

In the previous post, we introduced ROI connector to communicate with Roomba. Roomblock is controlled by a Raspberry Pi. As you know, Raspberry Pi is low cost ARM based board computer. We use Raspberry Pi 2, Ubuntu and ROS are installed on it.

The ROI connector on the Roomba and Roomblock are connected with a USB-serial adapter cable.
