ARX STEM Video-Based Curriculum
Quick, Autonomous, Multi-Sensored Robot Building Kit

The ARX is a quick, autonomous, multi-sensored robot with line-following and collision detection abilities. The ARX comes unassembled and requires soldering, making it an exceptionally suitable introduction into processor controlled hobby electronics for projects in schools, universities, and technical education.  

Developed for educational purposes by the DLR, the German Aerospace Center (like NASA). Highly versatile, the ARX is completely programmable in C. Standard parts are utilized and freeware tools can be used for programming.

The ARX is a small autonomous multi- sensored robot developed for educational purposes by the DLR, the German Aerospace Center (like NASA).

Highly versatile, the ARX is completely programmable in C. Assembly is easy for experienced electronic technicians and feasible for a novice.

Except for the printed circuit boards (PCB), only standard parts are utilized and freeware tools can be used for programming. The ARX comes unassembled and includes a soldering guide making it exceptionally suitable as an introduction into processor- controlled hobby electronics for projects in schools, universities, and technical education. Special tools, which are freeware for private users, have been used for all electronic development phases and software design, proving that robots can be designed without expensive tools or machines.
