RobotShop, 2006
Since the conception of the human brain, technology has tried it bests to duplicate such marvels. Robots have always been innovative options for humans as far as intellect and performance are concerned. This is the reason why most people who are behind the technology of robots have created robot kits in order to pacify the humanity's need for a power-driven device that will perform the same tasks that humans do.
RobotShop distribute robot kits that provide for the personal needs of every robot enthusiast. With robot kits, people can easily learn how to create a particular robot. In this way, people will be able to understand the expertise and the equipment behind the concept of robotics.
One of the best things about building and using robot kits is that every step entails a particular subject that people will learn to appreciate. For instance, by simply placing the right parts to their right places, you can learn something about electronics, physics and artificial intelligence.
To know more about robot kits, here is a list of some of the available kits that you can try out:
Beginner Robot Kits
As the name implies, these robot kits are especially made for those who are still new to robotics. These kits are specially designed to educate and orient those people who are interested to try robotics. The process is so easy that even nine-year old children can try building these kits.
For as low as $16.99, children, who are 9 years and older, can already start creating their very own robots. The Owi Turbo 3000 Robot Kit is one of those monster trucks that can provide your children with more features than just a toy. It has three styles of driving force: air propulsion, direct motor drive, and the solar power. But the latter is optional.
This type of robot kit is particularly made for most school projects, robotic classes, or as gifts for young tikes.
Intermediate Robot Kits
These robot kits are principally made for the robot hobbyist who has intermediate knowledge in robotics. This means that they have already gained some experience in building and utilizing robots.
The most expensive robot kit is the Owi WAO Kranius Robot Kit. Priced at $139.99, this particular robot kit can be played by children who are at least 10 years old.
Unlike the other robot kits, this is a programmable robot. This robot can be easily programmed to do some particular tasks without the aid of a computer. Its logical brain entails is controlled by a keyboard with 33-tactile buttons and an 8-bit micro-controller.
The Owi WAO Kranius Robot Kit is highly recommended for people who are more inclined to improving their awareness and understanding of robot programming.
Advanced Robot Kits
Advanced robot kits employ more complicated designs and structures and require more knowledge of robotics. The most advanced robot kits are humanoid robots, meaning they almost resemble the human structure. Most advanced robot kits have two-legged and two-handed structures already.
And because they are already considered as humanoids, these robot kits can actually run, walk, rotate, and can perform simple tasks like what humans can do. However, their main control is through a personal computer or an integrated microcontroller.
Solar & Beam Robot Kits
If you want to have some fun and enjoy playing with robots while enjoying the sun, try the solar and beam robot kits. They mainly feed on the sun's rays but also function under artificial lighting. Solar energy gives them the power to continuously operate.
