Use UpCom (our browser based IDE) and own ROS (Robot Operating System) like a boss.Visit our website https://updroid.com/ to learn more about the UP1. We have a limited quantity of these kits so pre-order now and have the new UP1 Dev kit waiting at your door before Christmas this year.

IO module customization

This concept is to target 8 years-old kids and up to engage
with robotics, as a friendly approach we came up with different iterations to
customize the IO module with facial features, in the ideation process, many
ideas were taking into account, after getting feedbacks from a customer, we
decide to go for the eyebrow and smile idea since it will give confidence and
friendliness to the kids to start interacting with the robot, also the black
color offers a neutral and elegant emotion with the minimum of part change
required. -
