Set of 3 robots - e-puck version 2
The e-puck is a small (7 cm) differential wheeled mobile robot designed for education and is also used widely for swarm robotic research. It is open hardware and software. It includes WifFi, BT, time-of-flight sensor, and USB charging.
e-puck is powered by a 32 bit microcontroller and features a large number of sensors in its standard configuration.
The e-puck hardware and software is open source giving low-level access to every electronic device and offering unlimited extension possibilities. A flourishing user community provides software, documentation and discussion groups.
