LED RANGE FINDER FOR KOALA
K-Team announces a major new extension for Koala: a LED Range Finder. Thanks to this tool, Koala can build dynamic map of its environment, a task usually reserved to larger robot. For use on Koala, it requires to have KoreBot, K-Team linux-based miniature SBC.
K-Team Robots at Work
- Swarm-bots, KoreBot at Work
 KoreBot is at the heart of s-bot, a fully autonomous mobile robot capable of performing basic tasks such as autonomous navigation,
perception of its surrounding environment, and grasping of objects. A s-bot is also able to communicate with
other peer units and physically join either rigidly or flexibly to them, thus forming a swarm-bot. KoreBot
provides the required computer power to process omidirectionnal views and sound localization. Swarm-bots is a
project sponsored by the European Community, aimed to study new approaches to the design and implementation
of self-organizing and self-assembling artifacts. Swarm-bots was recently presented at IROS 2003.

- Evolutionary Robotics Open Soft and Hardware Framework
Prof. Dario Floreano et al., from EPFL, recently launched an open source initiative. The project aims at providing all you need to build a multipurpose Khepera extension turret with a PIC 8-bit microcontroller and its first extension: a 1D visual camera. If you want to participate to the initiative, do not hesitate to follow this link.
- Khepera, a tool for experimentating wireless network
 INSYS recently presented i-Module, a new Bluetooth board. Khepera robot fully demonstrates the capabilities of i-Module thanks to Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hans Meier, at the University of Applied Sciences of Regensburg, which integrated i-Module to remotely control Khepera in C++.
New Software
- Release of SysQuake 2.5 & LyME 2.6
 Download and discover the new features of SysQuake LE 2.5 and LyME 2.6. Both of them now supports integer numbers and arithmetic, and extended numerical differential equation solvers to handle discontinuities and hybrid systems. LyME 2.6 will now enable your Palm to solve problems reserved till then to powerful computer.
