Overview:

The ASURO is a small autonomous multi-
sensored robot developed for educational
purposes by the DLR, the German Aerospace
Center (like NASA).


Highly versatile, the ASURO is completely
programmable in C. Assembly is easy for
experienced electronic technicians and
feasible for a novice.

Except for the printed circuit boards (PCB),
only standard parts are utilized and freeware
tools can be used for programming. The
ASURO comes unassembled and includes a
soldering guide making it exceptionally
suitable as an introduction into processor-
controlled hobby electronics for projects in
schools, universities, and technical
education. Special tools, which are freeware
for private users, have been used for all
electronic development phases and software
design, proving that robots can be designed
without expensive tools or machines.
