Mechanized "helping hand": Hexbot robot capabilities revealed

0
Robotics is actively used in many areas of human life: industrial processes, prospecting, construction, and even in everyday life. Mechanical assistants are constantly being improved and no longer seem to us something futuristic. And on the eve of the public, a small multi-functional robot Hexbot was introduced, which you can use both for work and for entertainment.





Externally, the device is a controllable mechanical arm, the main feature of which is a modular design that allows you to perform a number of various functions. So, for example, equipped with a Hexbot pencil holder, it can reproduce the drawing loaded into it with the highest accuracy. In addition, there are already nozzles: with a laser for burning, 3D-printer and a kind of capture, which the device can take objects.


Thus, you can use Hexbot for a fun pastime, for example, playing checkers or for solving professional tasks: making covers on a mobile, copying drawings, etc. The cost of the device itself is $ 349. However, for each module you have to pay another 50 to 150 dollars. According to the developers, the "mechanical arm" in the future will be equipped with new nozzles, which, of course, will increase its productivity.
