RoadNarrows LLC Khepera III (K3) – by K-Team, Switzerland The K3 is the next generation of robot from K-Team. can match the performance of much bigger robots, with a upgradable embedded computing power using the KoreBot system, mutiple sensor arrays (USS and IR) for both long range and short range object detection, swappable battery pack system for optimal autonomy, and exceptional differential drive odometry. The K3 extension bus is compatible with the Korebot system, so that any KoreBot extension can be plugged on top of the robot. The bus specification is fully open and available to enable custom extension development for users. With the KoreBot, features of the standard embedded Linux Operating System for quick and easy autonomous application development is available. Without the KoreBot, the K3 can be remotely operated like the Khepera through a simple, well-defined serial command interface with a host computer. With the KoreBot, the K3 is also able to host standard Compact Flash extension cards, supporting WiFi, Bluetooth, extra storage space, and much more.
