June 12, 2009 (FinancialWire) — CoroWare Technologies, a subsidiary of CoroWare, Inc. (OTCBB: COWI), announced availability of the Explorer, an all-terrain robot designed and optimized for conducting R&D into new robotic applications that operate in unstructured, outdoor environments.

“Our R&D customers wanted a robot comparable to the CoroBot that could be taken outdoors,” said Jon Mandrell, vice president of CoroWare. “We listened to what they were asking for and expanded the framework of the CoroBot accordingly. The result is the Explorer.”

Built on a ruggedized chassis, the Explorer excels outside the lab, navigating rough terrain and resisting environmental elements. The Explorer’s camera, wheel encoders and GPS enable the robot to examine the environment while the fully articulated 4-wheel-drive ensures the Explorer can navigate curbs, steps and inclines.

“Companies like CoroWare help move the robotics industry forward by developing tools that enable the research and development of novel robotic applications,” said Dan Kara, industry analyst and president of Robotic Trends. “Moreover, the operating environments for these applications should not be limited to structured, indoor settings, but extend to highly unstructured, outdoor locations. The Explorer provides an excellent R&D platform for building robotics applications that operate outdoors.”
