Netease Technology News September 7 news Wall Street Journal published an article on September 7 introduced several modern toys, and said that people have entered a new era of toy robot technology, the current high-tech toys from Lego and other brands can be various Manipulated in ways that were previously unimaginable.
The following is the main content of the article:
In ancient times, children's expectation for toys was to be able to connect a piece of interesting shape to another piece. The children built the aircraft with mechanical blocks and built the spacecraft with ErectorSets. The greatest happiness is the process of construction.
But since then, recreational toys have developed dramatically. After the engine and computer processor became less expensive, and the smartphone became ubiquitous, the toys entered a programmable phase at once—not only could they be remotely controlled, but they could also accept commands and even perform tasks. Of course, it is interesting to hide a toy snake in the skirt of a small partner to scare her, but it is not worth mentioning the fun of adding an LED eye and driving a moving vibration motor to the arthropod. Now, by configuring a small robot, you can walk along the corridor zigzag, inspect the house, say hello to your siblings, or fire plastic missiles at them.
The toys described in this article are all hands-on learning styles, which pose challenges for children and even adults, prompting them to think ahead, make plans and then execute them. We are in a golden age of toys that you can learn through practice, and people can get everything from basic electronic components to advanced robots.
The beauty of these products is that they provide enough advanced features to fascinate robotic experts or programmers (in fact, some of the so-called toys are also used in university laboratories), which are simple enough and fun to keep children entertained.
LEGO Robot Mindstorms EV3
Novice function: Children have built "robots" with Lego toy blocks for decades, but this set of toys is a real robot toy. Toys have guidelines for the use of 17 different motorized programmable robots, including tall humanoid robots, snake-shaped robots, and more. A small computer called "Smart Brick" allows you to program a variety of simple actions - such as making the robot crawl or turn your head.
Master features: Although the player is targeting users aged 10 or older, it is actually more complicated than the standard LEGO toy . It can take up to an hour to build a robot, and users also need to download the companion tablet app. Lego provides the user with a 3D rendering model that explains every step in the construction process, rather than providing a two-dimensional illustration. The free Mindstorms software for Mac or PC includes a wide range of advanced programming features that allow your robot to react to the surrounding environment with built-in infrared, color and touch sensors. For example, you can program the robot to crawl until a red object is found (via a color sensor) and then launch a small missile to the object.
Romotive Romo
Novice function: After inserting an iPhone or iPod Touch into this tank-like toy, you can form a strange but interesting mobile robot. Using another iOS device as a remote control, you can make Romotive Romo enter the room, start a video chat with people, take a photo or just show its rich and varied expressions on its iOS device screen, from curiosity to panic to happiness. .
Expert features: The magical thing about Romotive Romo is that you can use the free iOS app to set a series of triggers and responses to give it its own personality. Want to make your Romotive Romo very shy? Just click on the app a few times, and you'll be able to make it look back when you see the face (using the iPhone camera), then fall back with a low "head" tentatively. You can also make it giggling or thundering when it comes to being touched. Setting these behaviors may not be the same as programming, but it does make the process of vividly still life simple. Romotive Romo's makers have also introduced software developer kits to more advanced users this summer, and those who have never played robots can use it to explore the world of machine programming.
