The campaign crowdfundingowa Polish Husarion technology company has achieved its goal, winning the expected funds before the end of the time of collection. The site Kickstarter.com managed to collect more than 50 000 dollars. needed to start producing innovative project RoboCORE. Fully funded campaign “Heart Robots” will allow us to realize the vision of Krakow innovative platform which is the central element of the new structure. They allow easy and cheap creation of robots without specialist knowledge.

assumed minimum was reached on Wednesday, March 11 in the afternoon, and the meeting ended on March 13 at 8:00 Polish time. Polish start-up has collected a total of more than 58 000 dollars. With the funds collected RoboCORE production modules will be able to move by May, and the first to support, who gave to the collection of the appropriate amount, you will receive your own robotic heart in July of this year.

– We are very grateful to have been granted Kickstarter community to support us. Thanks to the success of the campaign, we are one step closer to the dissemination and implementation of consumer robotics construction technology affordable to the general public – said Dominic Smith, CEO Husarion.

Each robot consists of three elements: electronics, software and mechanics. RoboCORE is a combination of electronics and software in a slim housing with a shape resembling anatomical heart. The device offers functionality not available in other systems, robotics, such as control and programming from anywhere in the world or streaming audio / video over the Internet. Extensive peripherals, powerful processor and intuitive software make RoboCORE creator’s imagination does not encounter quickly to its limits.
With the device to create a simple robot takes people with basic programming knowledge from several minutes to several hours. For simple robots for remote presence (ie. Do telepresence) using modules can be used RoboCORE unused in drawers Kurzac smartphones and tablets, to then using Wi-Fi or cellular network (3G, LTE) ready to combine design with application in the cloud.

A working model RoboCORE cloud application management is the center of all the works available to the user. You can log in to it via a Web browser, and then from within the program from any location robot control it or friends to share the project.

RoboCORE is designed to remove the barrier to entry for many potential business ideas and start-ups companies will create work for solving specific human problems. The module will also be extremely useful for hobbyists, thanks to him that could create yet difficult to design and build structures. Importantly, it is compatible with any system of mechanics, including the termination of the popular LEGO MINDSTORMS sets.

The small (115 to 125 mm in the basic version and 82 to 82 mm in a mini version) device hides a number of components that provide great opportunities for expansion. Inside you will find, among others, microcontroller with Cortex-M4, Intel Edison miniature computer with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0, the ports for DC motors with encoders, sensors ports, expansion modules (eg. for servos) card slot for micro-SD and micro-USB input .
