DJI enter the edutainment market with the RoboMaster S1

The RoboMaster S1 is DJI’s intelligent educational robot that lets users dive into the world of robotics, programming, and AI through exciting features and gameplay.

I had no idea this thing existed but apparently its been around for a couple months already!

The RoboMaster S1 is DJI’s is kind of similar to Amazon’s DeepRacer, which a bunch of AI nerds will go on about, but this adds guns, FPV, omnidirectional movement and pressure sensors.

In other words it shits all over a little car that goes in circles. In terms of possibilities and fun anyways.

The robot has 56 programmable components with 6 AI modules which can be coded using Scratch & Python.

The little AI-robot-that-could ain’t cheap though. A$899 bones will be required to get this bad boy into your hands. Aimed at educational institutions I would’ve loved this at my school growing up but I fear its price may keep it out of reach for most budding AI engineers.
