[comp.ai] wanted: information on robots

kkm@svax.cs.cornell.edu (Krishnamurty Kambhampati) (03/23/90)

We are looking for toy ROBOTS which satisfy the following requirements:-

a) CHEAP - $200 approx 

b) should be able to communicate with it from a PC/Workstation
   
c) Communication should be 2 way. ie. we should be able to mount sensors on
   the robot and get feedback.

d) Robust - should survive "genuine" mistakes.

If you have any information/sources about such a class of robots I would 
appreciate a reply.

The intention is to use this toy in an introductory course in AI for seniors.
The students may be asked to program a planning problem (for eg.).

Thank you,

KK
