04 Where can I find robotics resources on the net?
Within this FAQ are a wide variety of URL's and pointers to ftp sites
for robotics resources. There are a few URL's that go beyond this and
some of those are presented here:
Robotics Internet Resource Page:
This is an excellent source of pointers to a wide variety of Robotics
related work on the Internet. This includes files, video, images,
teleoperation etc etc. - Use your favorite browser (Mosaic, Netscape,
MacWeb etc. to check it out) [3]Robotics Internet Resouces Page
European Robotics Archive:
Eurobots is an archive dedicated to storage of robotics related
information. It can be accessed via WWW at [4]European Robotics
Archive and [5]here for ftp.
In addition to holding a collection of general information, the WWW
version has "Hot Links" to useful documents (such as this FAQ!) and
pointers to other mobile robot sites. There is also a dedicated
section for those working in Europe. This archive is intended to
provide a service to all mobile robot developers, so check it out and
send us material that others might find useful, or give us your
suggestions for improvement.
