CellRobot
© 2019 KEYi Tech
This snap-together modular robotics system follows a human body metaphor. The idea is that just like the cells in our bodies work together to create life and function, CellRobot is made up of individual robotic "cells" (round balls) that are put together to form functional robots. The HEART, CELL, Functional Cell and X-Cell are the four types of cells that make up each CellRobot. Cells can be attached together by the connectors on each cells’ surfaces. To connect, face two cells together and gently twist. The HEART supplies power to the entire robot and provides a signal connection to your smartphone or tablet. It has eight connectors for you to choose from on its surface. The CELL is the basic module of CellRobot. Every CELL is a servo rotation system with an independent MCU (Microprogrammed Control Unit), which makes variable morphology possible. The two hemisphere of the BASE can do a 360 degree relative rotation, once connected to HEART, each cell can be directed to move in any direction and angle you wish. Functional Cell enables your CellRobot to become more practical. They act as add-ons to regular modules, allowing the robot to evolve and accomplish any task with the invention of these functional parts. Wheel is created for movement. It enables CellRobot to move faster. With Wheel, you are able to create a vehicle; Vision contains a wide angle wireless surveillance camera, and the X-CELL is the functional module you can create by yourself using an open hardware and software API.
