It was developed by Edo Franzi, Francesco Mondada, André Guignard and others. Small, fast, and architectured around a Motorola 68331, it has served researchers for 10 years, widely used by over 500 universities worldwide. -- Contents: Introduction [Development of Khepera; Introduction to the 1st International Khepera Workshop]; Artificial Evolution [Developing Robots Through Artificial Evolution; Experimental Comparison of Weight Evolution in Neural Control Architectures for a Garbage-Collecting Khepera Robot; Incremental Evolution with Minimal Resources; Deterministic Chaos in Sensory Information of Real Autonomous Mobile Robot Khepera; Autonomous Large Scale Open Field Navigation: Scaling Experiments with a Mini-Robot; Steps Towards Khepera Dance Improvisation; A Genetic Based Navigator System]; Neural Networks and Learning [Autonomous Robots & Neuroethology: Emergence of Behaviour From a Sense of Curiosity; A Modular Neuromorphic Navigation System Applied to Line Following & Obstacle Avoidance Tasks; Learning Elementary Behaviors With Khepera Robot; Controlling the Khepera Robot by Neural Network Modules; Bayesian Learning Experiments with a Khepera Robot; Emergent Robot Behaviour from the Principle of Homeokinesis; Mobile Robot Control Using Fuzzy Logic]; Hardware Design [A Stereo Vision System for the Khepera; Discrete Ultrasonic Sensors for Mobile Autonomous Systems; Khepera-Module for Wireless Infrared CAN Communication; Implementation of Application Specific Neural Hardware on the Mini Robot Khepera]; Human Interfaces [KITE: Khepera Integrated Testing Environment; PYKHEP: Python Based Visualisation Toolkit for the Khepera Robot; ExmoR: Testing Tool for Control Algorithms on Mobile Robots; Speech Recognition Interface to Khepera Robots]; Working Demonstrations [Bayesian Experiments: Nightwatchman Khepera; Steps Towards Khepera Dance Improvisation Demonstration; Autonomous Large Scale Open Field Navigation: Scaling Experiments with a Mini-Robot; Golf Playing Khepera; Operating Wireless CAN Communication System for Khepera Robots; Webots: Powerful Simulator for the Khepera Robot; Easybot: New Robots Simulator; Collecive Cube Clustering Using a Specially Designed Hardware Add-on].
