YARB robotic blimp now available for purchase
The YARB robotic blimp, as chronicled in www.surveyor.com/YARB.html, has proven to be a very useful platform for testing various configurations of cameras, sensors and control consoles.
While it has always been possible for others to purchase the various components to build YARB, we are now offering a complete version of the robotic blmp with 66-inch helium envelope, gondola with dual rotors and thrust vectoring, SRV-1 Blackfin camera with 2 lenses and 2 camera headers, 802.11bg Wifi radio, battery and charger.
YARB supports other sensors, include LV-MaxSonar-EZ1 ultrasonic ranging modules and Honeywell HMC6352 digital compass. As shown below, it is supported by a variety of control consoles, including host-based SRV1Console and SRV1Test, as well as a Google Android G1 phone-based console, as shown here:
YARB is designed only for indoor operation. If you are interested in outdoor operation, note that we are exploring various options for larger envelopes and motors, so contact support@surveyor.com with your requirements.
Price for YARB is $875. Please check our online store for YARB availability.
