KTEAM Khepera IV Research Robot
Khepera IV embeds state of the art features.
The Khepera IV is a compact robot designed for any indoor lab application (table, lab floor).
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 newest generation of Khepera is bringing with it a whole lot of new features such as embedded Linux core, color camera, WiFi, Bluetooth, USB Host, accelerometer, gyroscope, microphone, loudspeaker, 3 top RGB LED, improved odometry and precision.
Khepera IV Embedded Linux Support
With its Linux core, the Khepera IV embeds a complete standard Linux Operating System. It provides a well known standard C/C++ environment for application development. Almost any existing library can be easily ported on the Khepera IV, allowing the development of portable embedded algorithms and applications.
Khepera IV embeds state of the art features
Based on your experience, feedback and requests, the Khepera IV now integrates a powerful Linux core with WiFi, Bluetooth, accelerometer, gyroscope, color camera and a larger battery.
More stable than ever, you can now plug more extensions on the robot. The different sensors precision has also been improved and the odometry is even better than the Khepera III.
Khepera IV Architecture
The Khepera IV architecture provides exceptional modularity. As any K-Team robot, the Khepera IV is using an extension bus system for nearly unlimited configurations.
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.
The Khepera IV is the new standard tool for robotic experiments and demonstrations such as:
Navigation
Artificial Intelligence
Multi-Agent System
Control
Swarm
Collective Behavior
Real-Time Programming
Advanced Electronics Demonstration
