Khepera.Base.Overview
Khepera II is a miniature mobile robot with functionality similar to that of
larger robots used in research and education. Khepera was originally designed
as a research and teaching tool for a Swiss Research Priority Program at EPFL
in Lausanne. It allows real world testing of algorithms developed in simulation
for trajectory planning, obstacle avoidance, pre-processing of sensory
information, and hypotheses on behaviour processing, among others.
Very modular at both the software and hardware level, Khepera II has a very
efficient library of on-board applications for controlling the robot,
monitoring experiments, and downloading new software. A large number of
extension modules make it adaptable to a wide range of experimentation.
To facilitate programming of the robot, Khepera supports several development
environments, spanning from standard cross-C developments to more sophisticated
tools like SysQuake, LabVIEW® or MATLAB®, to the 3D Webots Khepera simulator.
Please note however that this software is just a suggestion: Any other
programming environment capable of communicating over a serial port can also be
used.
Khepera II is designed and manufactured by K-Team S.A.,
Lausanne, Switzerland.
