The newest robots in our lab arrived today!

We were awarded a set of twenty Eco-Be robots by Citizen of Japan in a research competition. We are proud to be the only lab in Canada to be working with these robots, which are not yet commercially available. For those who didn't see them unveiled at RoboCup-2006 in Bremen, they are the world's smallest mobile robot. We'll be using them with the mixed-reality applications mentioned below, and for a wide array of multi-robot research projects. We'll also be participating in, and contributing toward the continuing development of, the Robocup Physical-Virtual League.
