e-puck Mobile Robot
The e-puck is a very capable little differential-drive mobile robot with two stepper-motor-controlled wheels, a VGA camera, a ring of IR proximity sensors, a number of LEDs, a 3-axis accelerometer, microphones, and bluetooth communication, all controlled by a 16-bit Microchip PIC (dsPIC30F6014A). We have a few of them in the mechatronics lab.
The e-puck page is http://www.e-puck.org, and it is the primary source for all updated information on the e-puck. Here we simply keep some local helpful hints on getting started with the e-puck, along with a snapshot of some of the e-puck software from November 2007. See [1] for the most up-to-date information!
