The students made it possible to improve robot performance with their first product - a device for communication between autonomous robots. It uses appropriately placed infrared light emitting diodes. Thanks to such devices and appropriate software, they find each other easily and quickly. Such a device is used in many robots to determine the location of other objects - based on them, you can build devices that return to the "base" on their own, or "cat" and "mouse" robots that will chase each other.
Pololu (Hawaiian for long spear) is a valley on the north coast of the Big Island of Hawaii that inspired the company's unique name - the two founders used to fly remote-controlled gliders there as a pastime during their high school days.
After all three founders graduated from college, the company moved to Las Vegas, where taxes are lower and the climate is more conducive to the young founders. Currently, Pololu is one of the most recognizable electronics manufacturers offering high quality equipment. Around the world, including Poland, students at technical universities are eager to use the high quality equipment to build modern robots. The company offers durable DC motors of various parameters, which can be easily controlled using, for example, ready-made H-bridges from the manufacturer. You will also find excellently made wheels or rotating support balls for small mobile robots. The company also uses such tools as Arduino or ATmega microcontrollers. You will easily find kits to build your own robot, ready to use robots (for example Zumo for assembly or ready to use), controllers, magnetic and optical encoders, stepper motor drivers, enclosures, motor mounts, track wheels, linear motors, stepper programmers, card reader modules, sensors of various types (gas, pressure, limit), converters and robots like Zumo or line follower.
Pololu products are always of high quality, and customers can count on full support - full documentation is available for each product, including wiring diagrams, high-quality photos, datasheets, schematics, and even sample codes for use. You can also easily find spare parts if needed. You can also call the manufacturer or send an email with your query, and you will surely get an answer from the engineers working there.
