The __KR01__ Robot is a [small robot|RobotWeightClasses] inspired by David P. Anderson's [SR04] robot. There's a series of articles describing the KR01 robot on the NZPRG blog, see ''[The KR01 Robot Project|https://robots.org.nz/2019/12/08/kr01/]''.

The cost of this robot is likely to be higher than appropriate for the NZPRG, so [I'm|Murray] also designing several other lower-cost [robot prototypes].

This is modeled upon David Anderson's [SR04] robot:

# to be able to navigate and survive in a normal (cluttered) household environment, without getting stuck
# to provide a robust and reliable platform for developing navigation and behavior software
# be entertaining, aesthetically-pleasing, and inspiring for the local human population 

Additionally, it is meant to explore [Murray's Thesis|MurraysThesis], which requires the development of a multi-threaded Python robot controller that includes a PID Controller, ultrasonic , LiDAR, IR and bumper sensor behaviours. ''Can it somehow learn?''
