E-puck
The e-puck is a small differential wheeled mobile swarm robot.
EPFL
Overview
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.
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.
Specifications
- Diameter: 75 mm
- Microcontroller: Microchip dsPIC with 8 kB of RAM and 144 kB of flash memory
- LED: 8x

Michael Rubenstein describes how he has taken his robotics research from theory into practice by building cheap and small robots, 1024 of them to be exact.
Imagine a world with precision medicine, where a swarm of microrobots delivers a payload of medicine directly to ailing cells. Or one where aerial or marine drones can collectively survey an area while exchanging minimal information about their location.
Ew, a cockroach! But it zips off before the swatter appears. Now, researchers have leveraged the bug’s superb scurrying skills to create a cleverly simple method to assess and improve locomotion in robots.
