WLKATA AI-HUB AI Development Kit
Overview
The WLKATA AI-HUB AI Development Kit is a robotics control and development platform that acts as the brain for multi-robot systems. Powered by an Arduino MEGA 2560, it simplifies programming and controlling multiple WLKATA robotic arms, accessories, and third-party Arduino-compatible devices, so students can focus on creativity and problem-solving. WLKATA designed the AI-HUB expansion board specifically for smart-factory projects.
The kit includes 11 popular Arduino sensors and modules, giving hands-on experience with a range of communication protocols, including I2C, SPI, UART, RS-485, WiFi, and Bluetooth, along with I/O expansion. It efficiently handles task allocation and control across multiple Mirobot, E4, MT4, and Haro arms and other Arduino-compatible robots, and it ships with a comprehensive textbook of experiment guidelines.
