This repository is dedicated to a Beaglebone cape extension developped at EPFL in the Automatic Control Laboratory. The idea of this platform is to allow the user to transform any mechanically actuated platform, for example a RC car or a quadcopter base, into a robotic vehicle that can be controlled by a remote server.
