Building a robot from scratch can be a daunting task, which is why our large selection of robot kits
and robot systems are the perfect solution for those looking to get a head start into this exciting
field of science. Robot kits bring the constantly evolving technology of robotics right into to the
hands of educators, students and hobbyists. For those looking for a robot kit with a specific purpose,
we offer a wide selection of kits with varying degrees of challenge. If you’re looking for a complete
robotic building system which can be used to create a variety of different types and configurations of
robots, be sure to visit our Robot Systems category. Whether you’re just starting out, a seasoned
experimenter, or a professional in the field we’re confident you’ll find the robotic kit or system to meet your needs.
Looking to get started in the exciting field of robotics? Look no further! We have hand selected
these robot kits with the beginner and novice in mind.
- Easy to assemble
- No programming knowledge required
- Good introduction to foundation of robotics
Humanoid robot kits are gaining popularity across the globe. Many utilize
'pose and snapshot' software for building motion sequences, allowing acrobatics and fighting moves.
- Create your own walking gaits, dances, and poses
- GUI and Code based programming
Hexapod robotic kits make fantastic experimentation platforms for researching autonomony, terrain navigation, and inverse kinematics walking gait engines.
- Variety of walking gaits possible.
- Climb over objects and across uneven terrain.
- Create your own autonomous turret!
Great for quickly zipping around indoor environments, track and wheel robotic kits are also well suited for rugged terrain and outdoor navigation.
- Enhanced mobility.
- Higher payload capacity for expansion.
- Allows use of encoders for navigation.
Pan and Tilt robot kits can be used for a variety of projects such as standalone vision based object
tracking robots, a head for a larger robot, a sensory array, and much more.
- Mount sensors and cameras
- Great for machine vision applications
- Create your own autonomous turret!
While our robot kits are a great place to start, generally speaking they are intended to provide a
means of building a single type of robot. Robot Systems are complete modular building systems that
allow experimenters to customize and reconfigure their robots just about any way they want. Build a
wheeled bot and turn it into a walking bot the next! Our lines of Robot Systems are a great
investment for builders looking for an expandable robotics kit or prototyping tool.
The Bioloid system has been a huge hit since the day it arrived. Sturdy
enough to stand up to plenty of abuse, Bioloid robot kits also sport smart
serial actuators. With brawn AND brains, Bioloid robotic kits offer tons of features for
the price. Many advanced robotics programs and research labs make use of
the Bioloid actuators and there are also many 3rd party add-ons to
choose from.
- Train your robots with "puppet & playback" feature!
- Graphical programming with 3D motion editor
- Extremely sturdy
Introducing the next generation of LEGO MINDSTORMS ® – now, with a 32-bit processor,
redesigned sensors, Bluetooth and more. Winner of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award and Named Consumer
Electronics Show Editor's Choice by Popular Mechanics magazine.
- Familiar & friendly construction system
- Very popular for competitions
- Large community of users, plenty of example projects
VEX robot kits help builders and students unlock the power of their imagination by designing
and constructing radio-controlled and autonomous robotic devices that can lift, throw,
climb, gather and expand the boundaries of experimental intelligence. By working together
to create robots that perform exciting challenges, students also gain valuable problem-solving and team-building skills.
- Limitless configuration options
- Very popular for competitions
- Great for mechanical engineering
