The ROBOTIS BIOLOID is a hobbyist and educational robot kit produced by the Korean robot manufacturer ROBOTIS. The BIOLOID platform consists of components and small, modular servomechanisms called the AX-12A Dynamixels, which can be used in a daisy-chained fashion to construct robots of various configurations, such as wheeled, legged, or humanoid robots. The Robot is programmed with RoboPlus - C language based software solution.[1] The Bioloid system is thus comparable to the LEGO Mindstorms and kits.[citation needed]

TurtleBot 3 and other platforms[]

Turtlebot 3, announced in 2016 and developed in collaboration with ROBOTIS and the , is the smallest and cheapest of the TurtleBots.

Other ROBOTIS platforms include: ROBOTIS OP 2, ROBOTIS Manipulator and ThorMang3.

TB3 Plugins for Gazebo[]

ROBOTIS has TurtleBot3 plugins for the Gazebo Robotics simulator that will let you simulate a TB3 Burger, Waffle, or Waffle Pi.

Applications[]

The platform is currently in use by the U.S. Naval Academy in their Mechanical Engineering courses,[3] and is also popular in the RoboCup international robotics competition [4] and FIRA competition.
