Developers section

This is the developers section. Since it is often under rework, it is only available in English.

Our robots are public: everyone can see what is inside and how they are built and reuse innovations they contain. Here you can find every technical information about our robot:

• mechanical design
• electronic schematics
• software sources

Enjoy and do not hesitate to contact us for any question!
