Edison is a lego-compatible programmable robot designed to be a complete STEM teaching resource for coding and robotics education for students from 4 to 104 years of age. Note that the Edison is not an Arduino compatible robot, the programming is done directly from several graphical web sites and various free applications. 

Edison V3 is designed to work with LEGO bricks on four sides. It features removable wheels and a skid, enabling projects involving multiple Edison robots or using the robot's motors for other creations.

Now with rechargable battery with over 60min of continuous driving time, students can now engage in extended learning experiences without the worry of running out of power. And also comes with a USB cable to simplify the setup process and ensuring a more stable connection making programming a seamless experience.

Included:

• 1 x Edison robot with internal rechargeable battery
  3 x skids (1 x attached to the robot, 2 x spare skids located in the packaging)
  2 x wheels (attached)
  2 x tyres (attached)

Teachers Resources

True robotics education brought to life

The Edison robot is a powerful, engaging tool for teaching kids computational thinking and computer programming in a hands-on way.

With more built-in sensors than any robot in its class as well as lights, sounds and autonomous behaviour capabilities, Edison makes true robotics education accessible to students of all ages. 

Not just a remote-controlled robot, Edison can:

• Detect and avoid obstacles
• Be controlled by a standard TV/DVD remote (not included)
• Follow a line or stay within a border
• Follow a flash light
• Communicate with another Edison using infrared light
• Play beeps and musical tunes
• Respond to clapping and other loud sounds
• Move forwards, backwards, left and right using two encoder-controlled motors.

The Edison V3.0 Robot has:

• Two infrared (IR) LEDs
• IR receiver module receiver
• Linea tracker witha red led and phototransistor
• Two Light sensors
• Sound Sensor and speaker
• Keypad with three buttons
• Differential two-wheel drive system with enconders(encoder resolution 1.25mm)
• Processor: GigaDevice GD32F350CBT6 Arm® Cortex®-M4 32-bit MCU
• 800mAh Li-ion rechargable battery
