JKhepera is a Java class library for Khepera mini robots. It includes a class which allows you to open connections from a host computer to the Khepera robot via a serial interface easily.
Communication between Khepera and a computer is also simple, using methods like "setSpeed" or "readProximitySensors".
In addition, there are GUI classes to display the whole communication for debugging purposes and to control the robot manually.
Here are some key features of "JKhepera":
