Technology kits & Co.Technical gadgets for Christmas
The Christmas holidays - a time to relax and immerse yourself in technical gadgets. Computer&AUTOMATION has put together some experimental kits and books that make great Christmas presents.
The "Wheel-O-Bot" provides a playful introduction to robotics : as soon as it is switched on and has balanced itself briefly, it can be programmed wirelessly using the remote control. Or you can walk with it along the route you want it to follow. Wheel-O-Bot is already whizzing off and, thanks to its built-in sensors, it avoids all obstacles. Loaded with a cell phone camera, it can be upgraded to an exploration robot. The accompanying adventure book provides even more insights into the world of robotics: When did people start dreaming of creating robots? What did the first ones look like? What are robots used for today, what can they already do and what can't they do yet? What does artificial intelligence mean and can robots have a consciousness?
