3D drag-and-drop Builder

Building Your Custom Robot: A Step-by-Step Guide

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on designing your personalized robot using our intuitive platform. This guide will walk you through the process of selecting essential components and assembling them into a functional and tailored robotics solution.

Build-Your-Own Modules (MVP): The Robora platform launches with a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) version of the 3D builder, designed specifically for hobbyists and DIY enthusiasts. This MVP features a simplified, web-based drag-and-drop interface with a curated selection of 5-8 hardware components, including wheeled bases, motors, servos, ultrasonic sensors, basic cameras, and an integrated starter brick for power and control. Users can drag and snap these components into a basic assembly, guided by an onboarding wizard and supported by real-time 3D visualization with auto-alignment. The MVP enables export of designs as basic URDF files or parts lists, focusing on prototyping without advanced features like AI modules or simulations, which will be introduced in future phases. Scheduled for release in Q4 2025, this MVP serves as a testing foundation to refine usability and prepare for Robora’s full modular robotics ecosystem

Step 1: Choose Your Hardware

Begin by selecting the core hardware that forms the foundation of your robot. This includes:

• Chassis: Choose a structure that supports your robot's intended tasks, ensuring it can handle your desired environment and payload.

• Sensors: Incorporate sensors to gather data from your surroundings. Options include cameras, proximity sensors, and specialized detectors for various applications.

• Power Supply: Select a robust power source to fuel your robot's operations, considering factors like operation time and portability.

• Compute Bricks: Decide on the computational units that will handle data processing and execute complex algorithms on your robot.

Step 2: Add Synths

With your hardware in place, enhance your robot's capabilities by snapping on Synths, tailored to your specific needs:

• Vision Module: Enable your robot to perceive its environment using advanced imaging and recognition technologies.

• Control Module: Equip your robotic system with sophisticated controls for precision maneuvering and task execution.

• Language Module: Integrate natural language processing to facilitate communication between users and the robot, allowing for command interpretation and dialogue.

Step 3: Design with Robora Labs

Utilize our user-friendly drag-and-drop studio to bring your robot to life. This feature enables you to:

• Customize Layout: Arrange your hardware and AI modules in a seamless blueprint, ensuring all components function harmoniously.

• Test Compatibility: Instantly verify the compatibility of selected components to streamline the build process.

• Visualize Potential: Preview your design's appearance and function to refine and perfect your robot before final assembly.

By following these steps, you can effortlessly create a custom robot blueprint, engineered to meet your specific requirements. Embrace innovation and design the future of robotics with us.
