deathseeker25 Posted January 5, 2006 at 08:34 PM Report #10937 Posted January 5, 2006 at 08:34 PM LAS VEGAS – LEGO Group today announces LEGO® MINDSTORMS™ NXT, a new system that redefines the consumer robotics category the company created in 1998. Smarter, stronger and more intuitive than ever, LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT is a robotics toolset that provides endless opportunities for armchair inventors, robotics fanatics and LEGO builders ages 10 and older to build and program robots that do what they want. LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT, available in August 2006, was shown for the first time to media who attended tonight’s Digital Experience™, and will be demonstrated in the Robotics TechZone (Sands Expo #70127-C) Thursday, January 5 through Sunday, January 8 during the 2006 International Consumer Electronics Show. Building upon the success of the globally-renowned Robotics Invention System, the next generation of LEGO MINDSTORMS makes it quicker and easier for robot creators to build and program a working robot in just 30 minutes. Simultaneously, new technologies and expanded sensor capabilities add a level of sophistication to excite and challenge more experienced robot creators. The heart of the new system is the NXT brick, an autonomous 32-bit LEGO microprocessor that can be programmed using a PC, or for the first time in the retail offering, a Mac. After building their robots, users create a program within easy-to-use yet feature-rich software, powered by LabVIEW from National Instruments. Downloading programs to an invention is easy. Users with Bluetooth®-enabled computer hardware can transfer their programs to the NXT wirelessly, or anyone can use the included USB 2.0 cable to connect their computer to the NXT for program transfer. The robot then takes on a life of its own, fully autonomous from the computer. The inclusion of Bluetooth technology also extends possibilities for controlling robots remotely, for example, from a mobile phone or PDA. “When LEGO MINDSTORMS launched, we fundamentally changed the way people viewed LEGO building and play and helped spark the trend of affordable and attainable consumer robotics,” says Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, CEO, LEGO Group. “Eight years later, we’re ready to improve upon the single best-selling product in the company’s history. We’ve developed the new toolset with expanded components and capabilities to challenge our existing community of dynamic fans. Meanwhile, the system’s new software, design and 30-minute quick-start program are geared toward recruiting a new, younger generation of robotics enthusiasts.” LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT highlights include: • All-new NXT intelligent brick • 3 interactive servo motors feature inbuilt rotation sensors to align speed for precise control • New ultrasonic sensor makes robots “see” by responding to movement • New sound sensor enables robots to react to sound commands, including sound pattern and tone recognition • Improved light sensor detects different colors and light intensity • Improved touch sensor reacts to touch or release and allows robots to feel • 519 hand-selected, stylized elements from the LEGO TECHNIC® building system ensure robot creations will be sturdy and durable while also looking authentic • Opportunities for physical programming of robots and interaction with robots during programming • 18 building challenges with clear, step-by-step instructions help acclimate users to the new system to create robots ranging from humanoids and machinery to animals and vehicles • Digital wire interface allows for third-party developments • Information, inspiration, news, community programs and more at www.mindstorms.com LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT will be available at most toy and discount merchandise retailers, select consumer electronics retailers or online at www.LEGOshop.com in August 2006 and will have a suggested retail price of $249.99 (USD) and $ 379.99 (CAD). A special version for school and institutional use is also releasing later this year. In related news, LEGO Group also announced the launch of www.nxtbot.com, a blog written by writer, gamer and robotics enthusiast Jeff James, focused on the growing and fascinating world of consumer robotics. The company also announced details for a Developer Program. Information can be found at www.mindstorms.com Achei excelente...apesar de não perceber assim muito das specs...
QuickFire Posted January 5, 2006 at 08:51 PM Report #10939 Posted January 5, 2006 at 08:51 PM Ai...ai... que vontade que eu tinha de ter um bichinho desses 😄 é mesmo o meu estilo: só montar e programar 😄 Eu adoro robótica mas devido aos meus conhecimentos de electrónica fazer um bot sozinho tá fora de questão 😄 Mas o problema é que estão caros pa caramba esses da lego... :|
David Pintassilgo Posted January 5, 2006 at 09:07 PM Report #10941 Posted January 5, 2006 at 09:07 PM É a loucura!!!! 😄 :D 😄 Quando custa? cool stuffs to check. http://blog.zxcoders.com//
Bruno Posted January 5, 2006 at 10:04 PM Report #10954 Posted January 5, 2006 at 10:04 PM Finalmente... 😄 Os outros mindstorm já n tinham vendas... este promete mto 😄 É pena é eles so permitirem uma linguagem de programação feita por eles... já era tempo de darem mais liberdade e aceitarem C 😄
sanchocabo Posted January 18, 2006 at 04:01 PM Report #12010 Posted January 18, 2006 at 04:01 PM É pena é eles so permitirem uma linguagem de programação feita por eles... já era tempo de darem mais liberdade e aceitarem C 😉 Na verdade as antigas versões do Lego Mindstorm (v1.0 e v2.0) possibilitam a utilização de outras linguagens (alias... possibilita qualquer uma com a utilização do control spirit.ocx). E já existem linguagens com a sintaxe do C pré definidas para o Lego Mindstorm, como é o caso do NQC (Not Quite C) http://bricxcc.sourceforge.net/nqc/. Quanto ao novo kit... muito bom, e vendo que não aumentaram o preço, melhor ainda (o antigo custava ~200€). Só acho muito estranho haver "apenas" 519 "elementos" (no ultimo kit v2.0 haviam 720)... hummmm devem ter eliminado peças redundantes que ninguem utilizava. De resto só vejo melhoramentos, que são sempre bem vindos. 5 estrelas

Triton Posted May 20, 2006 at 01:17 PM Report #28455 Posted May 20, 2006 at 01:17 PM Eu como faço anos em Julho, estou a pensar com alguma massa que receba, talvez investir num bichinho destes. Já tou farto de ler blogs e artigos sobre o NXT, e parece-me altamente para dar as primeiras bases em Robótica, e aperfeiçoar a programação! 😉 <3 life
