Figure 9. <strong>Pioneer</strong> 3-DX features<br />
<strong>Pioneer</strong> robots may be smaller than most, but they pack an impressive array of intelligent<br />
mobile robot capabilities that rival bigger and much more expensive machines. The<br />
<strong>Pioneer</strong> 3-DX with onboard PC is a fully autonomous intelligent mobile robot. Unlike other<br />
commercially available robots, <strong>Pioneer</strong>’s modest size lends itself very well to navigation in<br />
tight quarters and cluttered spaces, such as classrooms, laboratories, and small offices.<br />
With its powerful ARCOS server and advanced MOBILEROBOTS client software, the <strong>Pioneer</strong><br />
3 is fully capable of mapping its environment, finding its way home, and performing other<br />
sophisticated path-planning tasks. 4<br />
