Level switches tackle challenging measurements
Featuring a compact switching mechanism that is isolated from the process fluid, LS Series magnetically coupled level switches are designed to handle a wide range of demanding applications.
In addition, the KoreBot is the first device to bring established standards like Compact Flash and USB to robotics.
The KoreBot was originally designed to increase the performance and connectivity of the low-power-consumption medium-size Koala mobile robot from K-Team.
But it is also suitable for upgrading existing mobile robots or prototyping new devices, ranging from student competitions to advanced research.
It also fits the needs of OEM developers of handheld devices: at the size of a credit card, KoreBot is the smallest, low-power embedded platform based on the Xscale architecture.
KoreBot comes complete with all the hardware and software needed to start Linux Embedded development with no hidden licence costs.
K-Team only provides fee-based support and training for developers.
KoreBot is the result of a collaboration between K-Team and two labs at the Swiss Institute of Technology at Lausanne, namely: the LAP within the Armonie Project and ASL within the Swarm-Bots project.
The first KoreBot samples are available on request, priced at Eur 650.
