An e-puck is a small differential-wheeled robot. The openness of the design makes the e-puck especially interesting for academic use. The hardware and software is under an open source license which allows for modifictaion and redistribution of the design. Besides being cute, e-pucks offer a lot of sensory functions and allow us to do hands-on experiments on collaborative robot algorithms.
The video shows a simple follower application, which we used to test the robot. The e-puck is using its sensors to follow an object - in this case the engineer's hand.
Thanks to Rene and Kevin for making this video.
