EyeBot
We have developed several generations of small mobile robot platforms which we call 'EyeBot' robots as they integrate a digital camera as their main sensor.
The latest versions are:
- EyeBot32, based on an ESP32 controller
- EyeBot8, based on a Raspberry Pi
EyeBot 32
EyeBot-32 is our simplest robot platform using two ESP32 controllers,
one just for image processing and one for drive control and display.

EyeBot 8
EyeBot-8 is a more powerful embedded controller platform
for robotics applications. It combines our embedded I/O board with
numerous I/O lines, linked via USB to a higher-level microcontroller,
such as the Raspberry Pi.
The EyeBot-8 I/O board handles all low-level actuators and controls, while
the higher-level controller typically uses a camera and a touch-screen
LCD output. Additional sensors, such as Lidar or IMU can als be connected.
The EyeBot-8 provides:
- 2 Motor drivers outputs
- 2 Encoder inputs
- 4 Servo PWM outputs
- 1 analog inputs
- 4 Pololu distance sensor ports
EyeBot boards can be purchased for USD 80 plus shipping.

Besides the versatile hardware, we also developed the powerful robot
simulation system EyeSim.
