RoboBrrd may change the way you think about robots. In fact, this fun creation by Erin Kennedy may be thinking on its own in the near future. It is already interacting and learning from others. I’m not sure if he learned much from Mike at Pixar…
Not long ago, I joined in ‘The Robot Party’ created and hosted by inventor and social robotics expert Erin Kennedy. Ms. Kennedy is currently a Mac & iOS developer, working on building a RoboBrrd kit version. Plus, she is actively continuing research she started at Clarkson University looking at blended reality within social robotics.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
