The new device developed by Polish scientists Dominik Nowak
and Radoslaw Jarema of the Husarion Company, acts as a robot's
central nervous system and provides people with the hardware and
software to build almost any type of robot they can think of..
... So you don't need any programming or engineering skills.
"By applying RoboCORE, the user can create their own mechanical
platform where they plug in our RoboCORE through various
connectors to engines and sensors. Next, they can log in to our
internet platform and use it to program their device and later
they can control and steer, guide it and supervise its
functions."
While RoboCORE contains advanced technology, the designers kept
the system simple for users. It's compatible with almost any
mechanical system; even Lego's Mindstorm, and uses open system
cloud-based software to control the finished construction.
"The inventors of robots based on RoboCORE can construct both
robots for play and hobby uses, as well as robots which solve
ordinary human problems. We're keeping in mind that many huge
technology companies started off their work in garages and we
hope that people in garages around the world will build robots
based on our solutions, our drivers, which to a bigger or
smaller extent will improve our lives."
RoboCORE comes in two sizes and the company has already raised
more than it needs to get off the ground with a crowdfunding
campaign on Kickstarter. It looks like having your own personal
helper, may not be that far-fetched an idea after all.
