Robit – The World’s Most Affordable Home Robot

Meet the world’s most affordable home robot

Robit is your friendly home robot that’s here to help you around the house. We wanted Robit to be easy to use just like your mobile device. With great technology, yet extremely affordable, Robit is the perfect addition for your family

Robit technical details:

Movement
Robit drives on 3 wheels: the two front ones are powered by 2 powerful DC motors and the back wheel is free. The 2 front wheels have wheel encoders that count the number of rounds so Robit knows the speed and distance of his movement

Head and Neck
The head can move up and down and right to left powered by 2 servo motors. The neck moves up and down with a servo motor.

The Real Time Board (Firmware)
Robit has a built in real time board similar to an Arduino. This board controls the hardware directly: the motors, the sensors, etc. The board has an API that can be accessed, although we recommend using our hi-level API.

Computer Board (The brain)
Robit is powered by a single board computer (Raspberry Pi). This computer includes a 4 quad CPU (ARM), 1 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of SSD memory for storing things like apps, music, etc.

Connectivity

Robit connects to the home WiFi with a Wi-Fi card and an Antenna so it’s always in range. Robit also has Bluetooth that you can use when WiFi is not available. When using BT some features are limited or disabled (such as: video streaming)

Sensors
Robit has a video camera in his head that can stream live video and images. He also has a led flash light to see in the dark (in his forehead). Robit has several ultrasonic sensors for feeling what’s in front of him, And a 9-Axis (Gyro, Accelerometer, Compass) so he knows what direction his moving.

Sound
Robit has a speaker and microphone connected to a sound card (and not the simple on board HDMI sound) so he can do sophisticated sound manipulations.


Eyes
Robit has 2 eyes, each has an 8X8 LED matrix. LED’s could be deemed to different levels.

Software
Robit’s Operating System is Linux (Debian Based distribution). We provide a very easy to use Python and Node.js (JavaScript) API. The API libraries include:
Movement
Events (sensors, sound, etc)
Controlling the eyes: you can draw bitmaps, letters, animations
Sound

We also provide a wider API for cool stuff:
Gestures – play interesting expressions on his eyes
Image Recognition – Based on OpenCV we offer a library of useful functions you can use out of the box
Object Detection and Object Tracking
