What are CUBELETS and how does it help in making robots?

ROBOTICS made easy without hard work- Technology Times

This article is based on the very prospering technology termed as CUBELETS.  This makes the robotics much simpler and less time consuming.  More precisely we can say that no/less need to solder or to program any of the mobile part in the robot. In the past few years the society prefers Robots to perform any of the task since they are much busy with some other work.  Robots are the future workers and for that regard only Robotics field is emerging like anything.  It’s not much easy to design even a simple Robot capable of performing a small task. To even make a blueprint of the ROBOT it takes great knowledge and patience.  This all process needs programming and some electronic circuitry to be done while manufacturing any of these Robots.  Even the machines that are working in the auto factories are termed as Robots.  With the passage of time Robotics branch is getting optimized and the usage of latest software’s and algorithms makes it even easier to manufacture a Robot. Cubelets provides a simple way to make the design for robots without programming and soldering.

This is a kind of robot construction kit; this is a kit which is commercial form of Carnegie Mellon Computational Design Lab’s roBlocks project.  The Cubelets holds a simple concept of individual cubes capable of performing their own functions.   Whenever these cubes are combined they form as a single unit and perform the task. A very good example for such a cube is that if you pair a drive block with a temperature block, this makes a robot which drives away in case of excessive heat.  You may consider these Cubelets, as a good pre-programmed source to perform any project on Robotics.

A very standard Cubelets kit costs around $160 and it comprises of six blocks.  Drive and Flashlight for action, Brightness and Distance as sensors, then Battery and Passive as utility blocks. Buyers interested in making a larger investment can buy the 20-block KT01 kit which goes for $520.  So, if you are interested in Robotics field, get a kit for yourself and recognize the difference.  These set of Cubelets will make your Robot more sensual and live.
