Buzz on the Khepera IV

The Khepera IV is a commercial robot produced by K-Team.

A Buzz port for the Khepera IV is available at https://github.com/MISTLab/BuzzKH4. An ARGoS plugin to simulate the robot is available at https://github.com/ilpincy/argos3-kheperaiv.

  • Proximity sensors
    • The Khepera IV proximity sensor is a set of 8 infrared emitter/receiver pairs distributed regularly in a ring around the robot. The sensors are numbered 0 to 7. Sensor 0 looks straight ahead, and the numbers increase counterclockwise when looking at the robot from above.
    • proximity is the Buzz table that contains the proximity readings. Each element of this table (e.g., proximity[0], proximity[1], …) is in turn a table that contains two elements:
      • angle, which corresponds to the angle (expressed in radians) at which the sensor is located on the body of the robot
      • value, which is the actual reading. Each individual sensor is saturated (value 1.0) by objects closer than 4 cm; the maximum range of the sensor is 12 cm. Between 4 and 12 cm, the readings follow an exponential law with the distance: 4.14*exp(-33.0*distance)-.085.
