Inchy is a micro robot based on the (now discontinued?) smoovy motors.  This robot comes from the Microprocessor Systems Lab at Ecole Polytechnique Federale De Lausanne, or EPFL -- a University in Switzerland -- where numerous micro robots (such as Jemmy, Smoovy, and Alice) were developed.  The builders of this robot actually went on to found Didel, a provider of micro-robot components (such as the motors for Pico, another micro robot). Unfortunately, this robot lacks(detailed) technical specifications.  Inchy measures in at 1 in3 (or about 16.4 cm3).

From Inchy's homepage:

  • Three rechargeable Leclanché Ni-MH button cells provide an autonomy of 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Two synchronous 5 mmØ RMB smoovy motors, with which speeds of over 30 cm/s can be achieved.
  • Four infrared proximity sensors, which can be replaced by other devices simply by exchanging the removable top PCB.
  • The microcontroller performs the same tasks as in Jemmy. Furthermore, it is located on a removable PCB (at the bottom) and also can be reprogrammed in-circuit within seconds by attaching our programmer to the 5-pin connector visible on the top.
