The following image describes what's included in the ROBOTIS STEM Standard kit. This set requires 6 AA batteries (not included).

Programming the ROBOTIS STEM Standard kit using RoboPlus

Robotis, the company at the origin of Bioloid, provides a programming software named RoboPlus. This software allows you to program your Bioloid robots by controlling the Dynamixel actuators. RoboPlus is in fact composed of 3 software's:

• Roboplus Motion : graphical animation program for your Bioloid robot.
• Roboplus Task : visual programming to control your robots (based on a language using a C syntax)
• Roboplus Manager : actuators and controllers management.
