Koala is a mid-size modular robot designed for real-world applications.

KOALA Robot

<p>Koala has the functionality necessary for use in practical applications (like navigation, mapping, artificial intelligence, ect.) and rides on 6 wheels for indoor or outdoor all-terrain operation. The Koala base robot can be programmed using the GNU C environment or remote controlled using the K-Team serial protocol. </p>

Discusses the theoretical design and experimental analysis of a distributed motion control methodology for communicating swarms of robots. Also describes on-board vision systems within the robots, and their hardware makeup. Explains programming proccess and looks at simulations' results.
