SAFAR - Software Architecture for Agricultural Robots
We are working togheter with UniBots in the SAFAR Project, an academic initiative to build a Software Architecture for Agricultural Robots.
UniBots, a university spin-off company based in UK, was set by Simon Blackmore to commercialise recent developments in behavioural control for outdoor mobile robots. UniBots provides a conduit from existing university designs and prototypes around the world into the market.
The purpose of the SAFAR project is to develop a set of designs, tools and resources to promote the development of agricultural robots.

Requirements and Installation
To get started, you need to install the Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 2008 July CTP on your PC. It is available for free for non-commercial use from the Microsoft Robotics website.
Configurable 2D simulator of mobile robots. Features a graphical interface where robots and objects are easily configured and a built-in BASIC editor for simulation development.
MOBOTSIM is a software (Win 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP) for 2D simulation of differential drive mobile robots. It provides a graphical interface that represents an environment in which you can easily create, set and edit robots and objects.
In order to set these mobots in motion MOBOTSIM has a BASIC Editor in which the user can write macros making use of specific functions to get information about robots coordinates and sensor data and to set speed and driving data for them, as well as making use of all the power and ease of BASIC language to program navigation techniques.
We would like to work with you to develop your application! We can supply you with a turnkey solution for modeling, simulation and control of your robots, including realistic 3D graphics and physics simulation.
