The designer "make a robot myself" - with Intel inside

We continue the rubric “announced on IDF”. The next novelty - this time for the GT - is a few sets for do-it-yourselfers. The first one, Robotic Development Kit , is obviously intended for self-assembly of a robot. The set includes an Aaeon motherboard with an Intel Atom x5-Z8350 processor, 4 GB DDR3 memory, 32 GB storage, HDMI port, Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 2.0 ports and one USB 3.0 port, eDP (embedded DisplayPort) port and 40-pin GPIO comb. The kit also includes a RealSense R200 camera, which allows you to create intelligent autonomous robots with complex behavior algorithms. Linux Ubuntu is preinstalled, it is also possible to install Windows. The cost of the set is $ 249, deliveries will begin as early as this quarter.

The second set, Aero Kit, includes everything you need to build a multicopter. Not much is known about it so far, only the fact that a more powerful platform based on the Intel Atom x7-Z8700 processor is used there . Home sales - the second half of this year.

Finally, the third set, the Quark Microcontroller Developer Kit D2000, is interesting, first of all, for its price - $ 15. For the money you get an Arduino-compatible motherboard with an Intel Quark D2000 processor , 32 KB ROM, 6-axis accelerometer, temperature sensor, USB port and a full set of software development tools.

In general, those who are preparing to conquer the world with the help of an army of robots can already begin the process.
