About INEX Robotics

IN novative EX periment Co. Ltd.” is an educational robotics manufacturer with its headquarters in Bangkok, Thailand. INEX reaches many countries all over the world in different countries and states. INEX focuses on the following areas of robotics business in:

• Research & Development
• Manufacturing
• Engineering & Technical Support
• Local and International Sales & Support
• International Exports
• OEM Products

INEX strives to excel in both development and to provide unique and innovative educational robotic products and curriculum for users of all ages and academic levels. In educational robotics, INEX has developed a product line of desktop based educational microcontroller boards as well as mobile robotic kits to teach students different aspects of electronics and robotics. INEX products are easy to understand and use with full product documentation and software to support. Customers can also learn how to upgrade, modify and improve INEX products. INEX mechanical components include custom plastic and metal components, as well as common nuts and screws. The bases and custom components are designed to allow flexibility in design.

INEX electrical components all connect to the main controller which functions are the “brain” of the robot. Each kit comes with a selection of sensors, though a variety of additional sensors are available and easy to incorporate into your designs.

Software

LOGO Blocks

Programming Robo-BOX 3.0 is very easy. Beginners can start with the graphical based iconic software called LOGO BLOCKS or use Text based programming in Cricket Logo. Cricket LOGO is a simplified programming interface that eliminates many of the nuances of higher level programming languages.

Interactive C

Interactive C was written by Randy Sargent of the KISS Institute for Practical Robotics. Randy was assisted by Mark Sherman. Portions of the code and the libraries are based on the public distribution of Interactive C 2.8 written by Randy Sargent, Anne Wright and Fred Martin. INEX provides a step by step guide as to how to program in interactive C

WinAVR

WinAVR is a set of tools for the C compiler, these tools include avrgcc (the command line compiler), avr-libc (the compiler library that is essential for avrgcc), avr-as (the assembler), avrdude (the programming interface), avarice (JTAG ICE interface), avr-gdb (the de-bugger), programmers notepad (editor) and a few others. These tools are all compiled for Microsoft Windows and put together with a nice installer program and are free to download . You will also need to download AVR Studio.

Project Ideas

INEX has included all the material relevant to creating each robot in their respective user manuals. Each manual details how to install the software, build the robot, program it and debug it. Assembly is done with pictures and sample code is always available to get you started. Your students will quickly learn how to use the modular parts and can set about building their first autonomous robots:

Interactive Robo-51 Kit: What can it do?

The INEX Robo-51 Kit is a robotic kit based on the MCS-51 chip and controlled by T89C51AC2 microcontroller. The microcontroller board allows many possibilities for expansion and prototyping with more parts and sensors. This kit includes more sensors consisting of switch, IR reflector, IR objector, 38kHz IR module, remote control, 2 DC motor gearboxes and mechanical arts for building the robot. It comes completely with manuals and raisonance C compiler evaluation software.?  

Arduino Compatible Pop-Bot Robot: What can it do?

The Inex POP-BOT Robot Kit is a microcontroller activity kit for learning about microcontroller and how to interface with external components in real word applications. The POP-BOT is programmed via the Arduino programming software. These programs allow you to program, compile, debug and upload your program to the robot. The program is based in C so if you are already familiar with programming, you can jump right in.  

Robo-BOX Robot: What can it do?

This kit is suitable for everyone who wants to learn robotics. The Inex ROBOBOX 3.0 Standard Kit includes a compact-size programmable microcontroller board and includes instructions on how to build six different robots. Beginners can start with the graphical based iconic software called LOGO BLOCKS or use Text based programming in Cricket Logo.
