Meccanoid G15 KS
By Meccano
Meccanoid G15 KS is Meccano’s buildable robot with directly documented institutional research use.
Meccanoid G15 KS is Meccano’s buildable and programmable robot. The manufacturer describes taught movements and app operation. Université Clermont Auvergne researchers used this exact model in their own study of human interaction with robots; an operator controlled movements through a smartphone. It therefore qualifies for institutional projects despite its original toy positioning. Education and research require suitable activity design and facilitation. The larger G15 KS remains separate from the smaller G15 and later Meccanoid versions. Current software support has not been established.
