In order to consolidate research about artificial intelligence-based tools, the design and construction of an autonomous robotic platform with simple mathematical model and high processing capacity is considered. The final prototype objective is to evaluate autonomous control strategies, artificial vision, route planning and collective intelligence. For this reason, the system was equipped with a FPGA as central control unit. In order to facilitate the development of a theoretical model, and provide the system with high mobility, the prototype was structured on a differential platform with two independent motors coupled with scroll wheels, and one third omni directional wheel of support. The mechanical structure was designed in acrylic (methacrylate), looking for mechanical strength, low weight, visualization of components and esthetic presentation. For primary space location, the prototype was equipped with encoded position ultrasonic sensors for wide range of vision. In addition, the system counts with ports to increase robot peripherals. The prototype was evaluated in laboratory, observing an excellent performance according to plan in design.
