The Robotis Bioloid (stylized as ROBOTIS BIOLOID) is a hobbyist and educational robot kit produced by the South Korean robot manufacturer Robotis. The Bioloid platform consists of components and small, modular servomechanisms called the AX-12A Dynamixels, which can be used in a daisy-chained fashion to construct robots of various configurations, such as wheeled, legged, or humanoid robots. The Robot is programmed with RoboPlus, C (programming language) based software.[1] The Bioloid system is thus comparable to the Lego Mindstorms, and VEX Robotics VEXplorer kits.[citation needed]
There are multiple variations of the Bioloid kit:[2]
Turtlebot 3, announced in 2016 and developed in collaboration with Robotis and the Open Source Robotics Foundation, is the smallest and cheapest of the TurtleBots.
Other Robotis platforms include: Robotis OP 2, Robotis Manipulator, and ThorMang3.
Robotis has TurtleBot3 plug-ins for the Gazebo robotics simulator that allow simulating a TB3 Burger, Waffle, or Waffle Pi.
The platform is currently in use by the U.S. Naval Academy in their mechanical engineering courses,[3] and is also popular in the RoboCup international robotics competition [4] and FIRA competition.
