NIBOBEE NIBObee - programmable robot kit

NIBObee is an autonomous robot specially developed for schoolchildren that can be programmed in C, Arduino, Java and Assembler. The stylish robot is a sophisticated complete system with an ATmega16 as a "thinking" unit, various sensors to perceive its surroundings and a built-in USB programmer, which also acts as a charger for the batteries. After assembly, you can therefore get right to grips with programming. The generous distribution of electronic components on the PCB means the robot simply requires soldering. An instruction manual with numerous illustrations explains the necessary soldering assembly step by step. In particular, the focus during development was on easily controllable sensors and convenient programmability, so that beginners quickly gain a motivating entry into the areas of robotics, programming and electronics. A transparent hemisphere as a dome and two probes that control four touch sensors give the NIBObee its distinctive appearance. The whole is rounded off by the NIBObee library, which provides all the important basic functions ready-implemented, as well as by a programming tutorial for the first steps.
