The PC/104 Consortium has announced the winners of their 2006 design contest. The one we're interested in is the Category III Research Project winner. It's a small mobile robot, apparently named "Type 1", built around the PC/104 form factor as a series of modules. The modules can be added or removed as needed for the research applications. There's a camera module, compass module, gyroscope module, even a module with an integrated 3 DOF arm. The PC/104 news release does not provide the name of the organization that built this entry but it looks like it was designed by a University. The description indicates students have used the robot for several research projects.
