Oculus Prime Robot DIY Kit Assembly Montage
Oculus Prime is available as a Do-It-Yourself kit, for those up to an intermediate robot build challenge.
You can build either the SLAM Navigator version OR the Pi Explorer version (or your own variant). Everything required is included, except for computer hardware. Comes with both sets of parts, for with-or-without depth sensor mounting, and hole patterns for mounting a mini-ITX or Raspberry Pi board. Oculus Prime Robot DIY Kit Assembly Montage
You can also use computer systems other than those included with the SLAM Navigator or Pi Explorer versions, as long as they meet the 'computer system requirements' described below

Follow the 'buy now' link above for detailed kit contents, as well as recommended computer hardware for each version.
Skills required for the build:
  • Hand tool use
  • Basic wiring
  • Fairly-easy soldering
  • Multimeter use
Skills recommended for operating system configure and software install:
  • Familiarity with Linux command line
  • Linux (Xubuntu) software installation
  • Operating system install to blank system
See here for assembly instructions and here for software install instructions.
Computer System Requirements:
  • OS/software: the Oculusprime Server Application requires either a 32 or 64 bit Java 7 JVM. It should run ok on any Debian variant of Linux (Ubuntu, Raspian, etc.)
  • Architecture: the Oculusprime Server Application runs on x86, x64 and ARM systems, but we can't help much with ROS Navigation unless its running on x64 systems
  • RAM: At least 1Gb of RAM is required for basic teleoperation, and 4Gb is recommended for running the ROS Navigation stack
  • Wifi is required. If using a USB depth camera (eg., Orbbec Astra), use of a mini-PCIe wifi card is recommended, instead of a USB Wifi dongle, to free up system USB bandwidth
  • Storage: minimum 4Gb microSD for Raspberry Pi systems, 8Gb SSD minimum recommended for ROS Navigation
  • Power: the Xaxxon POWERv2 PCB outputs unregulated DC voltage varying between 9-16V, so computer mainboards require a compatible regulator or wide-input PSU--such as our ATX Power Kit
  • Current: maximum output from the Power PCB is 3A (5A peak) but that is shared with the wheel motors, so it is recommended that computer systems draw 2A or less
