Abstract :
SqueakBot is a teaching robotic platform, usable by young people making it possible for them to control and simulate various devices like robots. The long-term goals of the project are on the one hand to have a software architecture being able to be embedded in small size hardware devices (with limited resources in memory and computation) and on the other hand to mix in the same platform, virtual devices simulated on a computer and physical devices available in the environment. We present here a first report of this project.
