UBTECH Introduces TankBot: the First Jimu Robot That Runs on Treads

Infrared Feature Allows TankBot to Follow Commands to Pick Up or
Maneuver Around Objects

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–UBTECH Robotics, the company that created the cutting-edge Alpha Series
of humanoid robots, today introduced TankBot, the latest addition to its
line of STEM-friendly Jimu Robots for kids and teens. TankBot is the
first Jimu Robot to run on tank treads for unprecedented mobility and
features an infrared sensor that allows it to follow commands to detect,
pick up or maneuver around objects. TankBot is an interactive building
block system that combines learning and fun as kids build, program and
share their robot creations. The Jimu Robot TankBot Kit retails for
$149.95 and is exclusively available at Apple.com
and in select Apple Stores.

“TankBot is an exciting new addition to the Jimu Robot family that kids
are going to love,” said John Rhee, General Manager, North America,
UBTECH. “Its cute and personable face and design will appeal to both
boys and girls, and kids will enjoy watching TankBot move seamlessly on
its tank treads. Further, users will be amazed by TankBot’s ability to
respond to commands as well as its ability to pick up objects. What kids
will love most about TankBot, however, is knowing that they themselves
are responsible for creating this robot and bringing their new friend to
life.”

The Jimu Robot TankBot Kit has all the parts, connectors and servo
motors needed to build TankBot or your own invention. The kit includes
the Jimu Robot app with step-by-step 3D instructions including zoom and
360 degree views to make building the robot easy. Once built, the app
features pre-programmed actions with Blockly coding or the ability to
program your own actions to make TankBot do almost anything. An in-app
joystick remote also lets you control your TankBot on your iPhone, iPad
and iPod touch. Additionally, the app connects users to the global Jimu
community to share their creation or programming with Jimu Robot lovers
around the world. The JIMU Robot app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is
available free, exclusively on the App
Store
.
