The Khepera robot is a miniature mobile robot with similar capabilities to larger sized robots that are most often used in research, educational facilities, and other real-world environments.
It also has two DC motors that are capable of independent variable-speed motion, allowing the robot to move forwards, backwards, and to complete a variety of turns at different speeds.
This mode has the advantage of splitting the control of the Khepera between the robot’s processor itself and the host computer: the Khepera handles very low-level tasks such as reading from the infrared sensors and controlling the motors, and the computer handles higher level behaviors such as planning and interaction with the user.

The liner notes make a claim that China was originally inhabited by fls; whatever the merits of Weston's historical case, he brings the musical strains of China and Africa (not to mention 52nd Street) together gracefully on this disc.
While Khepera harks back to Spirits of Our Ancestors in many ways, including the instrumentation and loping African percussion of many of the tracks, the new disc is somewhat less serene.
Khepera is, in sum, a feast of Weston's compositional skills and his playing, as well as that of these other master musicians.

The Shaman and early priests had amazing sensitivity to all aspects of human psychology....they used the Scarab Dung Beetle to symbolize the material life of a human soul...quite obviously to convey humility and to make the point that all life had a purpose, place, and connection to the divine.
