“The purpose of WIFIBOT is to develop and make low cost robotic systems for an increasing number of applications using off the shelf technologies like the WiFi, which is the common denominator of all our products. WIFIBOT was born to fulfill the need there was in the market for affordable and technically intermediate mobile robots. The existing option would either fall into the category of toys either into the category of expensive advanced robots intended for research. The WIFIBOT products come in the middle of the two and face little competition in this category. The final goal of WIFIBOT is to take out robotics from the labs by proposing products presenting intermediate capabilities and features while remaining functional and affordable to a large public.”

As far as I know there are no details to make your own. Lots of system specifications, but no DIY construction instructions as far as I can see.
