Redmond, Washington-based CoroWare Technologies announced an upgraded suite of standard features and options for the CoroBot, a mobile robot designed to minimize the complexity of robotics development.

 

The new features were developed with researchers and developers of robotic applications such as navigation and mapping in mind. These professionals now have a greater array of options whene developing their applications.

 

The CoroBot robotic platform comes fully assembled with an application to tele-operate right out of the box. The solution features a 1.5 GHz PC-class processor, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB storage space and a robust, object-oriented software development system.

 

Previous upgrades included a dual-core AMD processor for increase processing power and a camera upgrade with pan/tilt capabilities. Researchers can now build applications that incorporate vision recognition, robotics software components such as simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), and path planning.
