The e-puck is a small differential wheeled mobile swarm robot.

E-puck

<p>This desktop size robot is flexibility is made of affordable components and mass production manufacturing techniques. The developers took special care to make the robot as user-friendly and interactive as possible.</p><p>For applications where the basic features are not sufficient, the e-puck can be extended with specific hardware. The team provides embedded software consisting of a library and several demo applications. They also provide an open source simulator and a monitoring tool to run on a desktop computer.</p><h3><strong>Specifications</strong></h3><ul><li>Diameter: 75 mm</li><li>Microcontroller: Microchip dsPIC with 8 kB of RAM and 144 kB of flash memory</li><li>LED: 8x</li></ul>
