E-puck mobile robot

April 11, 2024

The e-puck is a small (7 cm) differential wheeled mobile robot. It was originally designed for micro-engineering education by Michael Bonani and Francesco Mondada at the ASL laboratory of Prof. Roland Siegwart at EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland). The e-puck is open hardware and its onboard software is open-source, and is built[1] and sold[2] by several companies.

Technical details edit

Extensions edit

New modules can be stacked on top of the e-puck; the following extensions are available:[3]

  • a turret that simulates 1D omnidirectional vision, to study optic flow,
  • ground sensors, for instance to follow a line,
  • color LED turret, for color-based communication,
  • Zigbee communication,
  • 2D omnidirectional vision,
  • magnetic wheels, for vertical climbing,
  • Pi-puck extension board, for interfacing with a Raspberry Pi single-board computer.

Scientific use edit

Since the e-puck is open hardware, its price is lower than competitors.[4] This is leading to a rapid adoption by the scientific community in research[5] despite the original educational orientation of the robot. The e-puck has been used in collective robotics[1] [2] [3], evolutionary robotics [4], and art-oriented robotics [5][permanent dead link] [6][7].
