  • RobotsIn this section you will find a wide range of popular Self Build & Ready Assembled Robotics products to suit everyone’s taste. Building a robot from a kit is the perfect foundation for any Robotics experience. In fact, when you build and assemble a robot kit, you learn about core STEM subjects, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Robot kits are a lot of fun and make excellent educational gifts. For more advanced enthusiasts wanting to create their own robots from scratch, please visit our Robot Parts section.
  • Robot PartsDesigning a robot from scratch can be a very rewarding project, but can be a little overwhelming to the beginner robot builder. Chassis kits provide a good starting point to which you can add your choice of parts. Some platforms include wheels, motors and parts bundles. If you are creative, consider making your own base with the easy to use Sintra PVC boards. Perhaps design your own robot arm or a walking robot, using the large assortment of aluminium hardware brackets, rails and plates. Arm gripper kits and robot leg kits are available too. Our small electronic kits are ideal for beginners as an introduction to the techniques of soldering components and simple circuit boards. To power your robot, batteries are available in different types and sizes. Perhaps consider a solar powered robot? Solar panels are a great alternative and can be linked in series or parallel to increase voltage and current. Linking batteries in series increases voltage while linking in parallel increases the available current.

Product Description

Product details:

The Surveyor rover was developed in partnership with RAL Space, part of the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and European Space Agency (ESA) Partner.

The Linckia controller at the heart of the Rover is the consumer level development of the RAL Space Robotics Team’s work on terrestrial test platforms used in the research, development and testing of rover navigation algorithms used by the ESA.

It features a custom GUI meaning novices can get started driving the rover around by simply connecting your Laptop, PC, Phone or Tablet to the wifi network the Linkia Controller puts out, or link it to your home wifi to be able to access the robot remotely from anywhere in the world. Advanced users can access the onboard linux kernel and program to their hearts content.
