See the World
with ATLAS and IRIS
The Atlas Robotics Kit, which includes the newest Apollo Microcontroller Unit, is an all-encompassing package designed to maximize learning opportunities while building a clawbot in a classroom, team, or hobby setting. These products are intended to be used together to facilitate discovery by helping to answer the “how” as well as “why” questions. They have been designed with educational robotics competitions in mind but can be used more generic settings such as classrooms, extracurricular programs, continuing education workshops, and much more.
The Atlas Robotics Kit and/or the companion Apollo Microcontroller is an ideal starting place for students, coaches, and teams interested in the CREATE Open Program. This accessibly priced kit and microcontroller can be used as a starting point to build a fully-functioning simple robot. Having examples of different motors and drivers can help you to decide what is needed for your competition robot. With so many options available, it is the intent of Higher Order Innovation to provide guidance for teams interested in the CREATE Open Program. We offer additional products to assist teams build competitive robots: the Atlas Open Program Package and the Apollo Joystick Controller.
The Iris Robot Platform is a great introduction to robotics and the perfect challenge for your next project. It is small enough to drive around on your desk while powerful enough to drive throughout the room. Controlling the Iris Robot Platform through an Android app allows the robot to explore the room and accomplish tasks. For many people, bringing software into the physical world through hardware can make programming easier to learn and easier to remember. Iris has been designed so you can focus on programming without having to build the electrical and mechanical systems.

The Iris Robot Platform is a low cost, mobile robot platform that can be programmed to operate on its own or in response to a wide variety of remote controls. It is an engaging introduction to microprocessor programming, mobile app development, as well as the potential expansion into web development. It is ideal for teaching programming: the robot is palm sized and can be operated and tested on the desk next to the computer. Engaging users with programming can be difficult at times, but through the mobile robotic platform, programming methods and techniques will keep the engagement higher for longer.
$134.99 The Atlas Robotics Kit contains all the mechanical and electronics components needed to create your own basic clawbot. A clawbot is a simple robot that is often used as an introduction to robotics and technology. Once assembled, it can be driven around the classroom and use its claw to pick up small balls or objects. It is simply constructed, but the Atlas Robotics Kit was designed to leverage many different technologies. 3D printing, laser cutting, multiple types of motors and drivers, and various software platforms are only a few of the ways the Atlas Robotics Kit can be a tool for learning. Contact sales@higherorderinnovation.com to inquire about pre-built Atlas Robotics Kits if your class is interested in using the Atlas robot purely for learning about coding and app development.

The Apollo Microcontroller is the combination of an Arduino-compabible microcontroller paired with an Android-based remote controller. It contains ten 3-wire motor ports, eight digital/analog sensor ports, and two bus servo connections. This kit does not include an Android device. Please note that the Apollo can be programmed without an Android device but it cannot be remote controlled. There are two examples of free Android remote control apps designed specifically for Apollo, available through Google Play Store and MIT App Inventor.
$199.99 The Apollo Joystick Controller is a Bluetooth-enabled joystick controller that is compatible with the Apollo Microcontroller. Some people, especially younger students, prefer a joystick over a mobile device to use as a remote control. This comes with a downloadable Apollo Microcontroller App upgrade (download Google Play Store or MIT App Inventor version) at no additional cost.
$39.99 The Atlas Robotics Open Program Package is an add-on kit that will take your clawbot to the next level. It contains additional extruded aluminum T-slot frame structural pieces to allow you to make your Atlas Robot larger than the original kit allows, but still regulation-size for any CREATE Open Program tournament.
