The Power of Computers on Wheels

Magabot is open source robotics platform designed to give mobility to any portable computer.

We believe that any robot with a computer is a very powerfull robot, and because all laptops have a camera, a screen, speakers, microphone, batteries and usb interfaces, your robotics experience will be empowered with Magabot.

Magabot is based on Arduino

The core is and Arduino UNO board, with a customized shield which facilitates the connections between the brains and the different sensors and actuators.

Magabot can not only be easily programmed using the Arduino Language but also be expanded with the huge amount of addons developed for Arduinos.

Hackable

The hardware is made with rigid PVC and is based on an Arduino.
You’re completely invited to change and adapt it as you want!

The Possibilities

Applications which provide color tracking, line following, telepresence among many others are already available at the moment and many others are being developed right now.

You will be able to download apps for the Magabot, to develop your own apps, and if you feel they deserve money, you will be able to sell them too.
