Abstract :
We designed a new and versatile family of small autonomous mobile robots. All these robots share a common controller and operating system, both developed from scratch. The robots are powerful enough to perform simple image processing tasks on-board and in real time. This enables us to perform a number of research projects for individual mobile robots and for groups of robots on these systems
