"Robuter II, is a commercial robot mainly used in research applications. This robot is supplied with two DC motors driving the wheels (differential configuration), with two incremental encoders coupled to them. It has a ring of 24 [ultrasonic] sensors connected to a CAN field bus for obstacle detection and avoidance." – Hardware Architectures for Mobile Robots, by Leopoldo Armesto, Juan Carlos Torres, and Josep Tornero.

"In 1985, convinced of the innovation’s potential, Vincent founded Robosoft to industrialize and commercialize the robuTER. It quickly became one of the first mobile service robots in Europe, used for research, education, and technical development. Between 1985 and the late 1990s, more than 100 robuTER units were manufactured and deployed in research laboratories across the world. robuTER laid the groundwork for what is now a major field: robots designed to navigate and assist in human environments." – Robosoft, The Origin of robuTER: When ROBot Met compuTER.

RobuLAB10 (2007) by Robosoft, France. "The RobuLAB 10 is a small multi-service robotic platform designed for a variety of applications in the areas of services, communication, education, health and research."

"The story of robuTER begins in a research lab at INRIA in the early 1980s. At the time, researchers in computer vision were developing algorithms to perceive and analyze visual environments. Their goal was clear: to apply these algorithms to robotics, in order to create machines capable of navigating intelligently through the real world. It was in this context that Vincent Dupourqué envisioned the very first robuTER. He designed an autonomous mobile robot from an electric wheelchair, intended to serve as a platform for experimenting with service robotics. The name robuTER is a play on words that reflects this fusion: it combines ROBot and compuTER, symbolizing the union of mobile mechanics and embedded intelligence." – Robosoft, The Origin of robuTER: When ROBot Met compuTER.
