Abstract
This paper presents the final hardware platform developed in the Perplexus project. This platform is composed of a reconfigurable device called the ubichip, which is embedded on a pervasive platform called the ubidule, and can also be integrated on the marXbot robotic platform. The whole platform is intended to provide a hardware platform for the simulation of complex systems, and some examples of them are presented at the end of the paper.
