ABSTRACT
Cubo Robot, a product of Kunshan Robotechn Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., is a configurable robotic toy for entertainment and education.
Like Lego, user can creatively design and assemble a robot into various imaginable forms with a set of interlocking blocks, each one identically
shaped and individually motor-powered. A smartly constructed robot can be powered and programmed to move on the ground. Cubo Robot
ships with a companion PC software and a custom designed control gamepad. With the software, users can repetitively assemble and program
a virtual robot as well as simulate its movements in a virtual environment on their computers till satisfaction, after which the generated
instruction set can be uploaded remotely to the real robot physically constructed based on the virtual model. The robot is then played via the
control pad (See Figure 1: Cubo Robot in "Additional Document").
