The Builder Robot is a complete mobile robotics platform that can be put together from 3D printed files. It includes a holonomic drive system, an arm with a gripper and an active vision system. The robot uses an on-board computer to run the Ikaros system that is responsible for sensory processing, real-time control of the servos, and execution of various cognitive modules. The design files have been downloaded over 400 times from Thingiverse. The concise building instructions are available as a report in the LUCS Minor series. https://www.lucs.lu.se/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Step-39.jpg
