I. WiRobot DRK6080/8080 Overview
WiRobot is an integrated electronic and software robotic system extended from Dr Robot’s
comprehensive humanoid robot. Each WiRobot development system is designed to provide a user-
friendly programming environment for hobbyists, students and researchers to develop their advanced
robot programs and applications at an affordable cost. The DRK6080/8080 development system
includes the respective mechanical structure, electronic modules as well as the software development
kit (SDK). The mechanical structure is already pre-built and the electronic system is setup with a
Multimedia Controller (PMB5010), a Sensing-Motion Controller (PMS5005) and various peripheral
electronic modules. The software component will be installed on a PC and is responsible to establish a
wireless connection and exchange data with the robot. User can develop their own applications in
VC++ or VB using the APIs offered in “WiRobot SDK ActiveX Module” which accesses the sensor
information, sends control command and configures the system setting.
