We are looking for information from vendors and users of off-the-shelf 
mobile robot platforms.

We are after a wheeled robot for indoor use for conducting research in 
robot perception/control.  Ideally we would like some basic on-board 
processing, that can control the robot and easily interface to standard
PC's.  Price range US$3,000 to US$30,000.

Positive or negative recommendations from owners of existing systems 
would be welcome.

Please reply by email, I will forward a summary to anyone who is 
interested.

Thanks in advance,
Nick Barnes
