Overview
Compact, it requires a small space to operate, even in swarm. With its high flexibility, the Khepera IV robot can be used in almost any application such as navigation, swarm, artificial intelligence, computation, demonstration, etc. The robot includes an array of 8 Infrared Sensors for obstacle detection with 4 more for fall avoidance or line following as well as 5 Ultrasonic Sensors for long range object detection. The robot’s motor blocks are using very high quality DC motors for high efficiency and accuracy. The internal battery provides a running time of about 7 hours.
