February 10, 2010 (FinancialWire) — CoroWare Technologies, a subsidiary of CoroWare, Inc. (OTCBB: COWI), said 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.

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, and path planning.

Headquartered in Redmond, Washington, CoroWare is a solutions integrator with expertise in personal telepresence and mobile robotics.
