Precious time and resources can be lost building sub-par physical systems to demonstrate cutting-edge software.  Research teams typically have little time to hone hardware for software implementation.  Garcia is a ready to use mobile platform solution for demonstrating tomorrow's algorithms.

Acroname's experiences with autonomous systems over the last few decades, countless customer interactions and innovative technologies are built into Garcia.  No corners were cut during the robot design as new components were developed when an optimal solution was not available.  Efforts ranged from designing custom motors, high efficiency circuitry, custom wheel molds, panel inserts, metal fabrication and a closed loop motor controller design built on BrainStem technology.

The Garcia design and development includes:

3D mechanical design
Printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication
Embedded firmware development
Software support (Configuration utilities, APIs)
Technical information including hardware details, API documentation, examples and reference manuals are available in the Garcia Central pages.
