LEGO EV3: 樂高第三代機器人


LEGO unleashes new generation of MINDSTORMS robots



EV3套件內含17中機器人設計圖,其中大部分如蛇和蝎子,走仿生機器人風格。

特色:無Wi-Fi連線、ARM9、SD 擴充介面、紅外線遙控,最重要的是和NXT相容。

可以直接在EV3 "intelligent" brick 操作寫程式,看樣子應該更加易學好用,不需接PC就可以做些簡單程式,號稱不開電腦,20分鐘即可上手。也可以利用 Android 和 iOS 裝置控制 。與Autodesk合作,LEGO EV3還提供3D建造說明 App。

預計2013下半年全球發售,售價約為USD 350。


The Hardware
Each programmable EV3 brick comes with an ARM9 robotic processor, an SD expansion slot and embedded 16MB flash memory, Linux, Bluetooth 2.1, iOS and Android compatibility, a USB 2.0 interface allowing Wi-Fi connectivity, four input and output ports, a Matrix display with a loudspeaker.

MINDSTORMS EV3 features three interactive servo motors (two Large similar to NXT ones and one Medium); two touch sensors; one color sensor able to detect six colors and absence of color; one infrared seeker sensor that can measure distance, movement, giving robots the ability to see and detect various objects; and one infrared "beacon" designed to control the robots remotely from a distance of up to 6 feet. Up to four bricks can be daisy-chained, and the USB port and Wi-Fi connectivity allow for a wide range of expansion. MINDSTORMS EV3 is also backwards compatible with all MINDSTORMS NXT robots, allowing users to utilize everything they bought during the NXT generation with EV3.
