You've been waiting for this for a long time, and it's finally here: Gearbest has prepared a special surprise for you. For you and your children: a construction kit for assembling a smart robot Xiaomi MITU Mi Bunny!
The new product is another LEGO-like construction set based on the Xiaomi robotic platform. The set includes a mandatory block with “brains” - a proprietary platform for creating your own robotic platform based on the STM32 processor. Exactly the same ARM processors are used in professional machine tools with software, industrial robots, quadcopters, and even space technology.
But Xiaomi MITU Mi Bunny is designed for children, so it is suitable for children from 12 years old. Programming is carried out using a special companion application for iOS or Android. Unfortunately, it's only in English, so your child will have to learn basic phrases - but is that a bad thing?
Using the Xiaomi MITU Mi Bunny smartphone you can control it in several ways:
- using a smartphone as a control panel, similar to RC models;
- programming using graphical basic primitives;
- programming with block operations in Xiaomi’s own language (similar to professional microcontrollers);
- downloading ready-made firmware using the built-in USB-C connector.
You can still connect additional modules to the main unit, for example, computer vision. The basic set includes servos, a video camera and some other elements traditional for LEGO Mindstorm.
The main difference between the Xiaomi MITU Mi Bunny and the previous version is the basic chassis supplied in the kit. While the first version used a 4-wheel chassis with separate servos, the new Xiaomi MITU Mi Bunny is equipped with a tracked drive. In addition, the kit offers completely different base models to build. Instead of a starship and a dinosaur from Xiaomi MITU Mi Bunny, according to the instructions, you can build:
- robot with machine guns;
- tank;
- bulldozer.
The number of Xiaomi MITU Mi Bunny parts has been increased compared to the basic set. Even more options that are limited only by your desire.
And this is 4 times cheaper than the original LEGO Mindstorm. If the Danish set will cost 30-40 thousand rubles, then Xiaomi MITU Mi Bunny costs only 154 dollars. Hurry up to buy during the pre-sale - after the robot arrives at the warehouse, the price will rise significantly.
