Description
Programmable robot kit with 344 parts
variAnt runs and acts almost like its natural role model. Its patented walking mechanism was especially developed for the fine-boned anatomy of an insect and is driven by compact micro-geared motors.
The autonomous robot ant explores its entire environment with the help of 12 analogue sensors. This allows it to detect obstacles, markings, movements or light sources based on the slightest differences in brightness.
The control unit in the rear, which is equipped with a nano-board, offers a wide range of flexible connection options in combination with the breadboard in the head. After the exciting setup, ready-made and expandable code modules ensure an easy and quick introduction to Arduino programming up to the first experiments with artificial intelligence.
The kit already comes with a USB rechargeable 9 V Li-Ion battery, which supplies the robot ant with power for at least 5 hours.
