Khepera Mobile Robot

The Khepera is a small (7cm) mobile robot developed at the LAMI laboratory of Prof. Jean-Daniel Nicoud in EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland in the mid nineties. It has been developed by Edoardo Franzi, Francesco Mondada, Andr Guignard and others. Small, fast, architectured around a Motorola 68331, it served the research for 10 years. It is now outdated, even with its upgraded processor and flash in version 2.0.
