proMOTION DS5500 robot servo
NorthSTAR visual robotic IDE
MultiFLEX2 controller
UP-TECH Robotics（Beijing, China.P.R.） has newly launched the InnoSTAR™ robotic kit product to replace the previous version. This product is a modular robotic kit, which can be used in carrying out the robot innovation experiments. There are three different version of InnoSTAR™: the starter kit, the standard kit and the advanced kit, and provided with many kinds of fittings to expand its functions.
The InnoSTAR™ robotic kit's overall characteristic, similar with LEGO Mindstorms™ NXT kit, is having many basic “Brick” components, including hundreds of structural parts, a controller, several servo motors, many kinds of sensors, as well as appendices like battery and cable. With the help of all these bricks, different kinds of complicated robots can be built easily.
The difference lies in that the InnoSTAR™ robotic kit is designed mainly to build robots. It has a 32bit/520MHz controller with the function of video and voice processing and bulk-storage memory, supports up to 250 CDS5500 robot servo (could act as a R/C servo or a gear-motor, with feed-back; with an instruction set compatible with Robotis’ Dynamixel AX12+), and simultaneously has many I/O and A/D channels as well as USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi port and so on.
Moreover, the robot's structural elements and the innovative connections has been specially designed for building robot, the connection rigidity and the structural strength are not inferior to the components of aluminum alloy, and is very easy to connect.
The InnoSTAR™ robotic kit is furnished with documents such as "Building Guide" and "Robot Programming Experiment Guide", and provides all components' 3D model files as well as more than 20 assemblies of typical robot 3D models, convenient for the user to study or building virtual-prototype.
Through many kinds of typical robot configuration and building demonstrations of the control system, users can study step by step how to build robots, learn sensors, actuators, the controlling principles, algorithm, application, and exercises their creativity to build unique robot prototypes.
There are different ways to develop a robot with the InnoSTAR™ robotic kit. The beginners may use a flowchart-based programming software(the NorthSTAR™),without any coding. The advanced user may use ANSI C, in combination with virtual oscilloscope, and a 3D simulation tool to design the robot behavior, with high transparency and flexibility.
In standard and advanced versions, MultiFLEX™2 controller's schematic and diagram and the reference source code/ interface functions are also provided. So that users can conduct complicated robot program with C language or create robot controllers on their own. On the basis of provided technical documents(such as datasheets), users can devise 3D virtual prototyping; develop their own robot controllers, sensors and so on.
Lets move toward the independent innovation by imitation!
