新的樂高機器人! NXT!

 LEGO最新的MINDSTORMs將要推出NXT!!
他有USB 2.0,也有藍芽! 還有很多新的改進......不知是好是壞....
先看新聞吧!可以先看
http://mindstorms.lego.com/press/

主機是灰白色的,好像PSP或是iPod。螢幕也變大!主機是32位元的ARM?


有光感,超音波,觸碰感應器,及麥克風(聲控)等SENSOR,4個INPUT PORT。SENSOR接線改為6-wired cord,不知道是不是RJ11?還有三個伺服馬達喔!

可以做MINDSTORMS RoboArm


規格有
All-New NXT Intelligent Brick

* The "brain" of the robot, featuring powerful 32-bit microprocessor, more memory programming
* 4 input ports / 3 output ports and 7 6-wire cords
* Matrix display, real sound speaker
* USB 2.0 and Bluetooth®

註:可以丟掉IR TOWER,用PC直接遙控?手機也可以遙控?

3 Interactive Servo Motors

* Bring robotics creations to life
* Built-in rotation sensor measures one degree steps for precise movement

註:有了伺服馬達,就可以拋棄角度感應器?

Sensors

* New Ultrasonic Sensor: the "eyes" of the robot measure distance, movements and detects objects
* New Sound Sensor: the "ears" of the robot, allowing creations to react to sound commands and patterns, as well as recognize tones
* Improved Touch Sensor: the "fingers" of the robots, reacting to touch or release
* Improved Light Sensor: detects different colors and light intensity

All-New Programming Software

* Easy-to-use PC and Mac compatible software interface, powered by LabVIEW from National Instruments
* Intuitive, icon-based drag and drop environment for "building" programs
* 18 robot challenges with step-by-step building instructions to acclimate beginners to the process of building and programming robots and inspire older users

LEGO Elements

* Streamlined, highly versatile collection of 519 LEGO TECHNIC® elements for easy, more stable building with improved functionality and movement capabilities

LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT will be available at most toy and discount merchandise retailers, select consumer electronics retailers or online at
www.LEGOshop.com in August 2006, at a suggested retail price of $249.99 (USD) and $ 379.99 (CAD). A special version for school and institutional use is also releasing later this year.

樂高似乎為了挽救獲利下滑,拋棄了舊的Mindstorms,所以NXT無法與RCX相容?

預計2006八月就可以買到,249.99美金(還好台幣升值)
現在還可以試試參加測試計畫,只有100個名額,只要USD149.99,我已經登記了!
看看示範,
