Bioloid Beginner Robot Kit
Introducing the world's first truly diverse and interchangeable robot platform, the Bioloid Beginner Kit.
The Bioloid Beginner Kit is the ideal choice for many schools and novices to robotics. It consists of 4 DOF( Degrees Of Freedom), or four actuator modules and the CM-5 controller module.
Just like the Bioloid Comprehensive Kit, The Bioloid Beginner Kit is built around smart serially controlled servo technology, which allows the user to construct a wide variety of robot configurations, including a crawler, turtle, robot hand, autonomous exploration robot, and many more..all with one controller board.
The kit is made up of many identical injection molded building blocks that the builder can mix and match at their discretion. The CM-5 module, shown below to the left of the three connected servos, is an Atmel ATMega128 based mcu module, which houses both the controller and the robot's rechargeable battery pack (9.6V). The controller board uses serial connection to communicate with each of the servos.
There are two software utilities that come with the Bioloid kit, these are:
1. Motion Editor - a GUI that allows you to create unique motion sequences for your robot through CAD rendering and torque measuring tools.
2. Behaviour Control Program - a modular GUI that allows you to program sequences of events/motions with interchangeable blocks.
Using the Motion Editor in conjunction with the Behaviour Control Program allows the programmer to use the Motion Editor to generate the robots motion sequences and then use the Behaviour Control Program to implement the logic (or intelligence) of the robot.
This robot is available in Beginner, Comprehensive or Expert Kit.
