MSR Key Hardware Components
GeckoFrame
The GeckoFrame is riveted aluminum sheet metal of monoque construction
very similar to the way aircraft are built, only simpler and much more cost effective.
Even though the MSR weighs 80 to 120 pounds (the exact weight depends on the 12V DC
battery installed), the frame can easily handle another 100 pounds....more>>
DC Drive Gearmotors
GSI has redesigned standard DC gearmotors to deliver long life,
high torque, efficiency, and compact size, providing over 148 inch-pounds
of torque. more>>
GeckoPowerModule
GSI has developed a motor driver board utilizing power field effect
transistors to control current to the motor. more>>
GeckoPowerDistribution
GSI has developed a 12V DC power distribution architecture for power
management, safety, and expandability. more>>
CompoundedSensorArray
ALL GSI MSRs use a scanning, stepping positioning system capable
of +/- 90 degrees, from hard left to hard right. Most high end,
research autonomous mobile robots have no more than 7 or 9 transducers
in fixed positions, covering the same 180 degrees from hard left
to hard right. more>>
