The Continuous Power Supply includes an adjustable maze for running multiple collaborating Khepera robots and a DC power supply circuit for Khepera experiments that require a long run time.


Features

  • Allows several Khepera robots to run simultaneously for a long period of time
  • The floor of the maze is a ground (GND), and the VCC is supplied from a copper net that covers the entire maze
  • Power is received continuously by each Khepera from a pantagraph located on top of the power turret on Khepera
  • The maze is modifiable and adjustable to suit individual experiments
  • Enough experiment space and power for up to 15 Kheperas in a standard size maze
