omicro : robot ball that can be moved by hand
Virtually Maker Faire 2020
omicro is a medium size robot ball. It can be operated by connecting with bluetooth from a smartphone or tablet. The ball can be operated freely by giving instructions with hand gestures. You can also operate multiple balls at the same time.
I hope this robot ball will be useful in the field of human expansion. I aim to support human vision and limbs with multiple robot balls that form a formation.
What are the problems you aim to help solve with this project?:
I want to simplify the structure of this product and make a robot ball that kids can build on their own. Until now, STEM education has often used humanoid, car, and crawler robots, but I would like to add a spherical robot to that. Spherical robots have the advantage of being able to change direction easily. I hope that kids will build robots that take advantage of this feature.
