Reactive robotics and the Khepera robot (4 hours/Spanish) Angélica García, Universidad Veracruzana - Mexico Fernando M. Montes, Universidad Veracruzana - Mexico At the present, the field of robotics has become popular among several researchers. Industrial robots have a long tradition from automotive applications like painting, arc-welding to delivering industrials components, and collecting fruits. A new branch in robotics has emerged recently, service robots. Some examples of how robots can be used are: floor cleaning, surveillance systems, assistance and carrier tasks in medical domains. These tasks require further refinement of the current state of the art. If we need robots behave in a complete autonomous way, still some prototypes and algorithms can be developed. Commercial tools are used to help the development, of both indoors and outdoors, robotics platforms. The Khepera robot is a clear example of an indoor platform, which can be used with research and educative purposes. On its second version this miniature robot measures about 70 millimeters diameter and 30 millimeters high.
