RobotShop has just received the
Genesi EFIKA MX Open Client, a very small but very powerful micro computer.
It can be used as a
central controller for a robot.
It's barely the size of two packets of playing cards.
The Genesi has 512 MB of RAM, 4GM of SSD hard disk, Bluetooth, WiFi, 100 MBit Ethenet, 2 USB 2.0 ports, and integrated speakers.
It doesn't have moving parts or fans which makes it robust and
ideal for using in a mobile robot (because there's no fear of vibrations), and it can be used as a media center or even a web server.
Its dimensions: 16cm x 11.5cm x 2cm. Its weight: 261 g.
