Wolfbots: A Swarm Robotic Platform [Archived in 2015]

The goal of this project is the design of an open-source platform for distributed sensing applications, which has an accessible interface and a flexible design. Some other specific features include low-cost, low-power consumption, high on-board processing capabilities, a suite of on-board sensors including a camera and microphone, and various communication channels. This work is partially funded by National Science Foundation under award CNS-1239243.
