1.3 Controllers

Alvik comes with two main microcontrollers:
At the core of the robot there is the STM32 Arm® Cortex®-M4 that controls all the sensors and actuators.
At the top a Nano ESP32 acts like the main controller and can communicate with the STM32 through a set of
dedicated APIs.

1.4 Sensors

Alvik comes with a large number of onboard sensors, from color detection to distance sensors or inertial
measurement units, all of which are listed in the following table:
Description
Color detection (x1)
IMU (x1)
Time of Flight distance sensor (x1)
Line Follower Array (x3)
Capacitive Touch buttons (x7)
The sensory capabilities of Alvik can be expanded using the different connectors and communication protocols
available at the back of the robot.

1.5 Actuators

Alvik has as actuators two DC motors with magnetic relative encoders and two RGB LEDs that can be used for
different purposes. In addition to that it is possible to expand the capabilities of Alvik by adding new actuators using
the different connectors and communication protocols available at the back of the robot.
