Anki Cozmo [1] looks cool. Does anyone have any other suggestion about a programmable robot with wheels and a camera, either more "bare bones" (and cheaper) or one that has some extra features, like a arm that can grab stuff?

- kajecounterhack 8y agoSome ideas: 1. Build a DonkeyCar http://donkeycar.com http://donkeycar.com -- you'll end up buying a servo controller board which you can use your pi to control any servos including those of a cheap robo arm. 2. Buy a Misty https://www.mistyrobotics.com https://www.mistyrobotics.com -- more expensive but a very powerful personal robot computing platform
- 7kkkk4k4k 8y agoPlus one for Misty!
- GFischer 8y agoI've been repeatedly asked about a security robot - it'd be a killer app here in Latin America. The Misty seems like it could patrol the interiors, not good enough yet but we're getting there. Knightscope should start selling here: https://www.knightscope.com/ https://www.knightscope.com/
- JoeAltmaier 8y agoYou could install a buttload of webcams for the price of one robot?
- GFischer 8y agoYeah, that's the current solution (and what, for instance, my father has - cameras, infrared barriers, etc.). But a movable webcam with some other capabilities (audio probably) might be a better deterrent.
- flor1s 8y agoCheck out http://www.turtlebot.com http://www.turtlebot.com, you can attach a manipulator from for example ROBOTIS to it.
- lpellis 8y agoIt looks cool, but only available in the US again :( And they dont even allow orders to freight forwarder addresses or resellers, what is up with that?
- lawlessone 8y agoI can see it on Amazon UK right now and it's being sold on Amazon by Anki themselves. It's more expensive though.
