This Upgraded DIY Desktop Smart Robot is a meticulously crafted, ready-to-play kit based on a 1:1 replica of an open-source design. It requires no assembly, offering instant access to the world of intelligent robotics right on your desk.

Core Features & Intelligent Control

The robot features an intelligent control system with three switchable fun modes:

• Exploration Mode (Default): Upon activation, the robot autonomously moves randomly, exploring the unknown terrain of your desktop with delightful unpredictability.
• Swing Mode: In this mode, the robot performs rhythmic swinging motions, showcasing its dynamic mechanical aesthetics.
• Time Mode: A key upgrade. After simple WiFi configuration via a web interface, the robot can automatically connect to the network and synchronize precise time upon startup, integrating a sense of technology into daily life.

Connectivity & Power

The robot supports wireless control. The upgraded control experience is smooth, allowing for continuous driving similar to an RC car. Its internal metal gear transmission produces a distinct and pleasant mechanical sound during operation on hard surfaces, adding authenticity and character.

Usage Notes & Craftsmanship

For extended play sessions, connecting to a power adapter is recommended for optimal performance. This is a hand-soldered, finished product. As such, it may bear unique soldering marks—a testament to its handcrafted nature and artisanal process. The wheels are part of the current version’s design, with future iterations planned to upgrade to rubber for enhanced performance.

Whether as an observational tool for STEM education, a tech-highlight desktop decoration, or a tangible platform for programming enthusiasts, this DIY desktop robot promises endless exploratory fun.
