1. Introduction
This is a new research project which involves CoroBot. CoroBot is a four wheeled robot created
by Coroware with the goal of minimizing the complexity of robot development. CoroBot is
equipped with a mini ITX motherboard and a PC-class CPU. One of the most important
characteristic about CoroBot is that it has expansive program storage space and CPU capacity to
run additional software. CoroBot was designed with developers in mind; all the hardware devices
and CoroBot itself is supported by Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio. In addition, CoroBot’s
ample mounting space allows hardware developers to install additional hardware components
such as GPS, laser range finder, environmental sensors and more. [1]
