Abstract

In this article is presented the design and implementation of a robot platform based on Pololu Zumo.
The platform is controlled by an Arduino Leonardo board, which ensures the required programmability
and flexibility. The hardware and software structures are described, as well as the main steps in building and testing the autonomous system. Experimental results from the developed platform are
shown, demonstrating its capabilities in navigation and task execution. The presented work can find
application in educational environments, robotics competitions, and as a basis for further development
of intelligent robotic systems.
