For those of us who aren’t already robotics experts, it’s been encouraging to see the recent variety of educational robotics kits that offer interesting and extendable capabilities at an affordable cost. One such kit on Kickstarter this week comes from Morpx, a company founded by Tianli Yu, who spent several years at Google working on machine learning and image recognition. The kit is called MoonBot, and it manages to pack some nice hardware and impressive AI and autonomy into a cute (and affordable) customizable robot.
