Robotics
Autonomous robots :
Autonomous robots are robots which can perform desired tasks in unstructured environments without continuous human guidance. Many kinds of robots are autonomous to some degree. Different robots can be autonomous in different ways. A high degree of autonomy is particularly desirable in fields such as space exploration, where communication delays and interruptions are unavoidable.

EGg0
The EGg0 Educational Robotics Platform is a project to develop hardware and software tools for designing and building robots with a focus on education. By leveraging the power of embedded systems, currently used hardware, free software and programming languages such as Python, the EGg0 project is building a cross-platform robotic systems that can be used and programmed by everyone.
Designed in conjunction with the SPARK program, a middle school science and engineering lab series, EGg0 is being developed for those who have never build circuits or programmed computers, but who want to learn. The system is:
Powerful
The systems will have up to 100+ input/output ports, be able to control up to 12-16 servo motors and many DC motors. In addition, communications will be available via any means possible with a standard computer system or radio signal.
Inexpensive
We are developing the systems in order to provide base-models for under $250. This would provide nearly all the functionality listed above. Systems with specific design needs and industry- as opposed to educational- uses will range from $250-$4000.
Outwardly Simple
Children as young as 7th and 8th grade can use it in the classroom and at home to experiment with robotics and electronics. It can be connected to any computer system via a serial or network cable, and programmed with a number of software tools from the very easy to the very complex.
Inwardly Complex
Industry professionals will appreciate the use of various processor units and architectures such as PC/104 systems and Motorola DragonBall/ColdFire based units. They will also respect the utilization of simple technologies such a Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) that will allow us to build 100+ sensor/actuator ports for costs under $10-15! Have the bean counters in your company do cost/benefit analysis on those numbers!
