Links and Downloads

For your enjoyment, we've put together some cool things to look at or download. See us (or our robots) at work in our MRL Lab Movies. The more seriously minded download some software and/or sample data. Those with a thirst for more things robotic can browse just browse through some recommended links.

Some of our latest technologies are also available for sale from Independent Robotics Inc.
