About Robotics - Smart Machines

For use with the engineering kits “Robotics: Smart Machines” and “Robotics: Smart Machines - Rovers & Vehicles Edition” by Thames & Kosmos

This app is the “brain” of the robotic models you build with the Robotics: Smart Machines kits. The app uses the feedback from the models’ ultrasonic sensor together with programmed commands to control the models.

App Features

• Connect to your models via Bluetooth connection.
• Remote-control mode lets you directly control the models’ two motors forward and backward.
• Remote-control mode gives you a visual display of the object distance readings from the ultrasound sensor.
• Programming mode lets you script and save programs.
• Seven programs (Programs 1-7) are preloaded to work specifically with seven of the robot models in the “Robotics: Smart Machines” kit. Eight programs (Programs 9-16) are preloaded to work specifically with eight of the robot models in the “Robotics: Smart Machines - Rovers & Vehicles Edition” kit.
• A simple, visual programming language lets you program motors, sounds, and pauses.
• Different program segments can be set to run upon first run and then when the ultrasound sensor detects objects at different distances from the model.
• Use the 64-page, step-by-step illustrated manual included in either kit to learn how to use all of the programming features.

Second product from kosmos which works for about 5 minutes before the motor stops working properly struggling to walk at the top of the movement cycle. Have the robotic cars too, same thing and the gearbox falls out. Frustrating as I love the concept, but just don't work reliably

I got this robot for christmas and I had so much fun building it downloading and Bluetooth connection were easy the instructions were easy to follow but when I went to drive it the drive motor was to weak but the steering motor was powerful enough to turn when I switched out the motors both were weak I ran a debug process nothing. Thames and kosmos I think that if you are to make your motors more powerful to pull their weight this product could become a leading brand like lego.

It doesn't connect on my son's devise or on mine. We would love to keep robot if it would work. My son's pretty disappointed!

M70%
by M####:

The product was made faulty. Only by taking out the PCB and flipping it over could I see that the socket for the sonar was switched with a motor socket. Fixed this by plugging directly into the circuit board, only to discover that sonar wasn't working anyway. The motors are weak, robot barely moves. Didn't even get as far as programming the thing, but compared to other visual scripting programs it looks like garbage.

My little brother spent his whole afternoon doing it and when we tried to connect it it didn't even work.

For Christmas i got the robotics experiment kit with the 8 different robots you can make. For a couple of days i didn't really do anything with it since i was busy with family. However i just opened it and built the Spy Bot and let me tell you, it kicks ass! Im 16 years old and ive been into legos since i was 6. I love building anything, especially mechanical things, so this set was incredible. Works great with the app. The instruction manual was even fun and entertaining. You guys are awesome!

My 9yr old son loves this, and has been busy making robots snce he got it. The app is easy to use as a remote control, and the programming mode has the right balance of simplicity for children and power to do stuff. I think we'll be getting him the other set for Christmas! Bluetooth connectivity: just read the instructions!

by R####:

Cannot pair with my smart machines device. Total junk. Don't buy this kit. As expected they have responded with a canned message. Kosmos obviously thinks it's customers are idiots.

N70%
by N####:

Waste of time. The kit does not respond to the commands.

by R####:

Waste of my afternoon

R70%
by R####:

This robot operates by use of a smart phone/tablet....so when the app crashes, the robot is of no use. App not working as of this date. Uninstalled/Reinstalled.....Nothing.

It is not connecting Bluetooth.

T70%
by T####:

Doesn't connect to the car! So we have a robotic car, with batteries and motors, and there's no way to move it. I've tried this on my Galaxy S6, my wife's iPhone 6S plus, and my son's iPad mini 4. No dice anywhere. How disappointing for my son and me, and how just positively shameful for Kosmos to release a completely non-functional product.

Won't connect to Bluetooth on any of our devices.

It is fun to play and make new things
