IL-SRV1Q SRV-1 Surveyor Robot <p><font color="00ff66" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Designed for research, education, and exploration, Surveyor's SRV-1 internet-controlled robot integrates a 1000MIPS 500MHz Analog Devices Blackfin BF537 processor, a digital video camera with resolution from 160x28 to 1280x1024 pixels, laser pointer ranging, and WLAN 802.11b/g networking on a quad-motor tracked mobile robotic base. </font></p>
<p><font color="00ff66" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Operating
as a remotely-controlled webcam or a self-navigating autonomous robot, the
SRV-1 can run onboard interpreted C programs or user-modified firmware, or
be remotely managed from a Windows, Mac OS/X or Linux base station with Python
or Java-based console software. The Java-based console software includes
a built-in web server to monitor and control the SRV-1 via a web browser
from anywhere in the world, as well as archive video feeds on demand or on
a scheduled basis. Additional software support for the SRV-1 is also available by way of <a href="http://www.roborealm.com/help/Surveyor_SRV1.php">RoboRealm machine vision software</a>, <a href="http://www.surveyor.com/MSRS.html">Microsoft Robotics Studio</a>, and <a href="http://www.cyberbotics.com/">Cyberbotic's Webots</a>.
