You are not just building a Meccanoid Personal Robot, you’re building a friend! Meccanoid is a personality in its own right – with an intelligence shaped by you! Meccanoid tells jokes, plays games, etc…

Meccanoid can be programmed 3 different ways: LIM Programming, Ragdoll Programming, & Behavior Builder. Behavior Builder & Ragdoll Programming can only be activated through the Meccanoid app.

DO YOU HAVE A MECCANOID?
Once you have built your Meccanoid, download the app to unlock additional programming features!
· NEW!!! BEHAVIOUR BUILDER: The Meccanoid App contains a new feature called “Behavior Builder”. Behavior Builder allows you to program your Meccanoid robot to perform actions and wait for triggers to perform new actions. Have your Meccanoid introduce itself and ask for a handshake before telling a funny joke! Press a button on the Meccanoid’s chest to have it initiate an activity. All your previous animations can be inserted into Behavior Builder and become part of the program.
· RAGDOLL: In this mode, you can control Meccanoid’s arm and foot motors to make Meccanoid twist, turn or move any way you want.
· LEARNED INTELLIGENT MOVEMENT: Program movements and sounds by manipulating the robot like a puppet and play them back with a push of a button.

YOU ARE IN CONTROL!

The app allows you to create your own choreographed moves developed by you! Record sound & motor movement and simply play it back.
