Computers now come in all shapes and sizes. From large desktop towers, to 10" cubed mini-boxes, all the way down to 3x4" Single Board Computers (SBC) which can run all day on just a few AA batteries. With the cost of computers becoming ever cheaper and their sizes ever smaller it makes obvious sense that the world of robotics is shifting away from old technologies and making the leap over to the CPU. With the arrival of the low cost Single Board Computer robotics projects that developers have been dreaming about for decades are now possible.

Trossen Robotics is well aware that we live in a world where robotics developers are spread across the three main platforms- Microsoft, Linux, and Mac. knowing this we set out to provide solutions which will be platform independent so that no one gets left in the cold.

Whether you are interested in building a large robot which is tethered to a hulking computer or a miniature robot carrying only an SBC and a few batteries you have found a robotics development system that is friendly to your goals.
