Romotive

edit

Romotive makes robotic platforms that use your smartphone as their brains, starting with a robotic tank toy named Romo that you can customize (via hardware extensions & software), program, and control remotely via a live video feed. Romotive provides an open SDK so that anyone can develop new apps for Romo.

Based in Seattle, WA Romotive is bringing the app store to robots. Find out more at www.romotive.com
