Qfix robot kit

Qfix robot kit

qfix robot kits are an education tool for teaching robotics. They are used in schools, high schools and mechatronics training in companies. However, the robot kits are also used by hobby robot builders.

Like Lego mindstorms, it is a robot kit consisting of mechanics parts, a controller, different sensors and actuators, and a software environment in order to program the constructed robot.

Unlike Lego, in qfix the mechanical parts are made of aluminium and all elements are industrially normed. Mechanical elements include bars and plates, holders for motors and sensors, axes and wheels.

For electronics components, Atmel controllers are used. The components are modular and can be connected via I²C bus.

The qfix kits can be programmed from the PC, either in C++ by using the WinAVR environment or with a graphical programming environment called "GRAPE". Programs can be downloaded to the qfix controller board via parallel or USB link.

The qfix kits are often found in the RoboCup Junior competition.
