=KUKA youBot= The KUKA youBot is an educational robot especially designed for research and development in mobile manipulation. It is an open platform that is operated with open source software. With this education-friendly approach of using open interfaces and open source software modules, the youBot shifts away from proprietary software, closed interfaces, well-known in most industrial robotics areas. The KUKA youBot enables robotics researchers and students to write their own software and configure the hardware.

History
In June 2010, the KUKA youBot was introduced at Automatica in Munich.
