SEITE IN DEUTSCH 		D001 is a small autonomous robot suitable to exploring human indoor habitats unattended. Controlled by a microcontroler it explores his enviroment with sensors, that based on different physical principals. Wireless watching the robot behavior and (if necessary) remote control is available through a radio modem.
This is my first robot project, inspired by Flynn and Jones book "Mobile Robots. Inspiration to Implementation" and many interesting plublications in the internet. 		UPDATES
