Product Description 

 

GreyBot V.1 is a low-cost robot designed by GreyRobotics that will help you get acquainted with 

robotics and embedded system platform. With its unique software and hardware design, you will 

be  able  to  design  and  run  various  robotic  based  applications  both  simple  and  complex.  It  is  a 

versatile platform created for the use of beginners as well as researchers so as to ease their work.  

Hobbyists and enthusiasts can earn expertise in robotics by developing algorithms and test them 

on  GreyBot.  Its  architecture  allows  you  to  control  the  robot  using  AVR  microcontroller.  It  is 

powered using high performance, rechargeable Lithium Ion battery of 3.7V/2.5A rating. Auto cut-

off battery charger is provided for charging the robot. It comes along with our easy to use Line 

Follower Sensor Array which can be used for developing the path following algorithm for the bot. 

Long distance Infrared Proximity Sensor is provided. High speed motors help you to give the robot 

its  locomotion.  Motor  control  is  achieved  using  H-bridge  motor  driver.  The  onboard  16x2 

alphanumeric display along with user switches can be used to select various operating modes of 

the robot. Also, it has user programmable LED’s and buzzer. 

The  robot  has  additional  pins  to  interface  Magnetometer,  Ultrasonic  Sensor,  Servo  Motor  and 

Bluetooth module as per the user application. We also provide an inbuilt firmware for basic testing 

and functioning of the robot. The robot can be programmed using ISP port.
