Hey Kickstarter, I am Jonathan and this is my friend Pascal.
We are two French roboticists and today we are proud to present you Vigibot and Minus.
Vigibot is the ultimate web remote controller! Designed with robots in mind, Vigibot allows you to control anything you want over the internet, with ultra-low latency feedback, high-security control and it’s super easy to use!
Just go to vigibot.com and you will be able to control real robots that can be all around the world.
Dig a little and you will notice that we already added a lot of crazy features, such as full SSL encryption, multi-touch control, video capture, advanced user control permissions, opening hours, weather cam, and more! But the most interesting part is that you will be able to add your own completely custom robot on Vigibot and learn robotics on the way!
Wait, you’re not a robot maker yet? No problems! We got you covered! You can start with our Vigibot ready kit and build Minus this fantastic little guy. Anyone can build it.
With minus, you can see the world thanks to it's high-quality camera using Infra-Red Led light for night vision. This camera is mounted on a 2-axis pan and tilt head.
The robot moves thanks to four High-quality motors and wheels. As you can see there is also A two-axis gripper, and additional arms to get the robot up if it falls.
The robot is controlled by a raspberry pi 3 B+ which connects to the Vigibot server and is powered by a powerful 7 ampere hour lithium ion battery custom made with BMS protection included, allowing you to play multiple hours with the robot without needing a recharge.
You can customize your Minus robot with add ons such as mics, speakers, buzzer, led, lasers, relay, additional servo motors and more!
For those who want to make their own custom robot we provide some parts that may help you too.
Whether you build a Minus robot or a fully custom one, we provide technical support on a dedicated robot maker forum where you can ask your question either in English or in French. We can’t wait to see what you will build with Vigibot!
Thanks to this campaign we will finalize the Minus robot kit with a dedicated custom power board and continue to improve the Vigibot website.
With your support, we aim to make a great and fun Vigibot community.
