The Bioloid Robot System from Robotis is a modular robotics system based around graphical programming, reconfigurable brackets, and “smart serially controlled actuators” which are not only capable of switching between angular positioning and full continuous rotation, but also provide you with access to sensory feedback such as position, speed, temperature, current draw and voltage of each servo.

The kits can be used to create many different kinds of robots, from humanoid bipeds to multi-legged walkers, to wheeled vehicles (The Bioloid Comprehensive Kit includes complete assembly instructions and software examples for 26 different robots!). Not only that, thanks to the sensor-equipped digitally controlled servos, it’s like your robot has a built-in nervous system right out of the box!

Best of all, the various construction and programming options allow your robotic project to be as simple or complex as you want it to be. The combination of smart actuators, flexible construction system, graphical programming software, and comparably low price makes the Bioloid kits some of the best on the market for hobbyists, educators, and researchers alike!
