CoroWare Technologies, a subsidiary of CoroWare, Inc. (COWI), announced today it has added a new accessory to its growing line of robotics products.

A compact and affordable laser range finder is the latest addition to the company’s online product catalog. The laser range finder can be purchased individually or as an option on the CoroBot and Explorer robots. Purchased as a robot option, the laser comes fully installed with drivers pre-loaded on the robot’s computer. A 10Hz scanning frequency and range of over 18 ft. significantly increases the robots’ sensing power.

“Recent advances in laser range finders, including a reduction in their size and power requirements, along with declining cost, now makes the technology appropriate for smaller robotics systems,” said Dan Kara, robotics industry analyst and President of Robotics Trends. “The addition of a laser range finder option for CoroWare’s CoroBot and Explorer platforms greatly increases the number and range of applications the robots are suited for.”

CoroBots and Explorers equipped with laser range finders can leverage established functions such as Monte Carlo localization and Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). This makes CoroWare’s robots even more suitable for inspection tasks, remote presence tasks, and academic research, operating both singly and in swarms.

This new accessory is the latest in a series of growth activities for CoroWare’s Robotics and Automation group. In February, the company announced a differential-drive robot base option, more powerful motors and robust sensing mechanisms.

“We continuously evaluate customer feedback and actively engage in R&D activities to further expand our robotics product line,” said Lloyd Spencer, CEO of CoroWare, Inc. “Keeping close watch on customer demand helped CoroWare’s Robotics and Automation group increase product sales by more than 11% in 2009 during a global recession.”

CoroWare Technologies, a subsidiary of CoroWare, Inc. (COWI), announced today it has once again upgraded standard features and options for the CoroBot, a mobile robot designed to minimize the complexity of robotics development.

Researchers and developers working on robotic applications such as navigation and mapping now have the option of choosing a CoroBot with a three-wheel differential drive (diff-drive) base or the original four-wheel drive skid steering base. The new three-wheel design with rear caster allows CoroBot to turn in place at its approximate center point. This feature provides smoother and more accurate turning, especially on carpeted surfaces. The new diff-drive design often results in power savings that translate into longer run times. Additionally, both the diff-drive and four-wheel drive options will now come with stronger motors for improved performance and tactile bumper sensors to detect direct contact with other objects.

“Caster-based designs are popular due to the benefits of near zero footprint turning and highly reduced wheel drag,” said Matt Trossen, CEO of Trossen Robotics, an authorized CoroBot distributor.

CoroBot is a capable, expandable and affordable robotic platform that comes fully assembled with an application to tele-operate right out of the box. Equipped with a 1.5 GHz PC-class processor, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB storage space and a robust, object-oriented software development system, the CoroBot empowers researchers to rapidly deploy and develop robotics solutions.

Previous upgrades included a dual-core AMD processor to provide even greater processing power for complex algorithms and a camera upgrade with pan/tilt capabilities. Researchers can now build more robust applications that incorporate vision recognition, robotics software components such as simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), and path planning.

“We are constantly evaluating our line of products and their features based on customer feedback and market trends,” said Jon Mandrell, Vice President of CoroWare. “These upgrades provide the robotics community with powerful tools they can customize to meet their goals at a price-point that optimizes their time and budget.”
