The Best Robot to get started from Carnegie Mellon University.
The Finch is a new robot for computer science education. Its design is the result of a four year study at Carnegie Mellon's CREATE lab. The Finch is made to easily integrate into high school and college CS courses.
The Finch was designed to allow students to write richly interactive programs.
On-board features include:
Light, temperature, and obstacle sensors
Accelerometers
Motors
Buzzer
Full-color beak LED
Pen mount for drawing capability
Plugs into USB port - no batteries required
The Finch is currently programmable with Java and Python. Additional language support will be released throughout 2011.
