A Desktop Arduino Social Robotics Kit
There are a lot of Robot Kits and Toys out there. But they all are basically RC cars or just have a few pre-recorded motions that get old. We wanted to make a robot that really seemed alive and spontaneous. And we did it.
LittleBot Buddy is the 9th robot that we have made at Slant Robotics. The first 8 were directed entirely at makers and STEM education. We wanted to make robotics and STEM exciting and fun. It's no different with Buddy. Except now anyone can enjoy this robot. Whether you are a builder or not. You can just "hang out" with Buddy.

How He WorksBuddy uses his sensors and motion to learn about and react to the world around him. He constantly updates this model in order to know how to react and generate what he thinks is around him.

Tutorials and ResourcesEverything to build Buddy is documented so that you can create him also. We will also be adding code samples and other resouces so if you want to expand on Buddy you certainly can in order to teach or learn new parts of robotics.
