CoroWare Announces Distributorship Agreement with RobotShop


REDMOND, Wash. - November 27, 2007 - CoroWare, an Innova Robotics & Automation, Inc. (INRA.OB) company, today announced that it recently entered into a distribution agreement with RobotShop Inc., a distributor of personal and domestic robots.

Until today, CoroWare has been successfully marketing and selling the CoroBot product line to educational, industrial, and military sectors through its direct sales efforts. Entering into this distribution agreement with RobotShop will enable CoroWare to meet the growing demand for its CoroBot product line and reach a broader audience, including commercial developers and researchers, technical educators, and robot enthusiasts.

CoroWare's CoroBot is a robot development product line that includes a PC-class processor, on-board sensors, a color camera, and an optional robotic arm capable of four degrees of freedom. Everything needed to jump start a robotic project is affordably packaged in the CoroBot.

By teaming up with RobotShop, CoroWare believes it will see an increase in market presence among enterprising businesses, researchers, and hobbyists who need a powerful development tool at an affordable price.

'RobotShop has a proven track record of selling and supporting a wide range of domestic service robots today,' said Jon Mandrell, Director, Robotics and Automation at CoroWare. 'We have great expectations that this agreement will help us better serve our university research customers, and reach a broader market including technical education and robotics application development.

RobotShop is well established in the robotics distribution industry. The support center is able to assist customers and typically resolves any concerns without having to push back to the manufacturer. Customers enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that RobotShop can deliver anywhere, and they stand behind the products they sell.

'By adding CoroWare's CoroBot product line to our growing lineup of products and services, we are now able to provide our customers with an affordable robotics development platform,' said Jonathan Brunet, Product Specialist at RobotShop. 'We believe that the CoroBot is an affordable platform for the development of proof of concept robotic solutions and integrated robotic applications.'
