Minirobot
The goal of the project is to implement a miniature mobile robot for the research and educational use. For basic research the robot provides a modular platform for learning and adaptation experiments. The robot will also be used to study collective behavior, and they enable various interesting applications such as remote monitoring and collective task execution. This project is closely related to the ROSEMAN project providing a testbed for the learning and adaptation experiments.
