“…On a 2 GB SD-card, this allows to capture the full state of the robot for several days which is currently a unique feature for such a small robot system. As described in [11] is it possible to implement almost every state-of-the-art robot control system with SymbricatorRTOS. We use the MDL2 controller language described in [12] for controlling the robot.…”

A new autonomous mobile robot for research, education and Arts is presented. The robot features a rich variety of sensors and an extendable processing unit while still maintaining very small size (approx. 51 mm in diameter). The robot can be used in combination with a very versatile arena for robot experiments that allows to setup and execute experiments in an easy and automated fashion, which also includes automatic recharging of the robot. We will provide an overview of the basic modular hardware design of the robot including a detailed description of the cpu, power management, bus system, actuators and sensors. A special section will be dedicated to a detailed description of the communication capabilities of the robot. Furthermore we will present the software architecture which provides high-level access to the robots hardware.

In this work we explore several adaptation processes in systems with a high degree of developmental plasticity. It is indicated that such systems are driven by two different forces: adaptation fitness and design goals. The goals, formulated in an invariant way to environmental changes, represent an example of a self-concept, used in developmental processes. This paper gives an example of collective locomotion, introduces four different adaptive mechanisms and finally discuss the self-development of such systems.
