Features
Po is full of modern features that can be found in most robots with the ability to add more to it in the future
Bluetooth
Po can be controlled by connecting to it by bluetooth, sending commands and instructions
3D printable parts
Body parts are designed to fit 3D printers configurations, where parts are professionally designed to fit together. furthermore, broken parts can be replaced easily and economically by either buying the part from us or 3d printing it at your own cost.
Customizable
Po will have the facilities to be customizalbe by adding cameras and extra stuff to be announced later
Simple SDK
At hexapo we use open source simple aurdino software development kit to operate Po and send instructions to it
WiFi
With the wifi features you will be able to connect to Po through wifi for better communication when developing and learning as well as playing
Chipset
Hexapo has its own bord design based on the arduino architecture to help run Po effectively
Gallery
Here at Hexapo we take pride in developing and improving our prototypes and products. Here are some pictures of our robot :) starting with version 1 and finally our own pcb motherboard design that will be used to control PO
Development Journey
Here is our journey so far.
