Resources for Building Low-Cost Collaborative Robots

Before approaching the construction of low-cost collaborative robots, we must take into account the
resources needed for their use and construction. Thus, there are some important factors to take into
account such as: What low-cost robots are available in the market? Which programmable electronic
components can we use? What type of programming language will we use? What platforms or
applications for programming execution exist? What other materials can we use?

So, one thing is clear. There is always a need for a basic investment in building collaborative robots
and their costs increase with their complexity and functionality.

What low-cost robots are on the market?

We work in advance with some low-cost robots that come with interesting activities and can be
purchased by schools. From early childhood education levels to more advanced high school and adult
levels. Here are some suggestions:
