... getting innovative ideas into motion - no matter your age or skill level

ROBOTmaker is a part-time project run by a small team of engineers, designers, makers and artists with a passion to simplify the integration between DIY electronics, micro mechanics (mechatronics) and kinetic art - we help getting your innovative ideas into motion.

Located in Germany, on the boarders of Belgium and Netherlands, our team specialises in the design, development and manufacture of micro sized mechatronic platforms for University, College & School projects, robot swarm projects, robot clubs and hobby robot enthusiast.

We understand that, for many, the idea is more important than the method of accomplishing it.

Robotics is challenging, exciting, and fun! For students that are participating in a student robotics team can develop the real-life skills needed as a professional engineer: collaboration, teamwork and innovative problem-solving using limited time and resources.

To help you achieve this, our aim is to provide configurable kits - complete with mechanical & electronic parts bundled together with working code and wiring examples; simplifying your project and the integration between mechanics, electronics and kinetic art - helping you get your idea into motion fast.

We truly believe interactive mechatronics & robot making is great fun! - no matter your age or skill level.

We sincerely hope we can inspire you to take up this really exciting hobby !

Sensorium Project

We have started an opensource 3D-360-degree Multi-touch HID sensor project that uses our 360 degree IR sensor for gesture control of Arduino, Processing.org and eventually Android 3D App interfaces. See video

Anyone interested to develop their own sketches further is welcome to reuse our processing Sketches ...read more

Micro Size Robot Chassis

soon to be launched for robot swarms, robot gaming and nano sumo robot competition

A range of Nano and Macro sized chassis will be ready for launching soon. The first chassis to be launched is a Nano size chassis with belt drive and nano geared motors. These are suitable for robot swarms or nano competition robot.

See our videos on Youtube:

The nano competition size robot chassis (25mm x 25mm x 25mm) will be first available as a 'pre-production' kit.These will be produced on a 'on-demand' basis in small batches...Read More

Miniature Geared Motors

We are stocking up with various geared motors, suitable for Nano and Micro size Sumo robot competitions. These latest Nano sized motors are a real beauty with 25:1 planetary gear reduction ideally suitable for Nano competitions!....Read More

360 Degree - 3D - Multi-function programmable sensor modules

multi-function programmable sensor modules for 360 degree or 180 degree
interactive object sensing, ambient light sensing and inter-device communication for you mechatronic or robotics projects.

With a simple 3 pin RS232 serial interface, these modules can be connected to your Arduino project or PC/MAC, enabling
object sensing,
user gesture sensing,
infrared remote control of electronic devices, simple IR interactive communications between devices and directional ambient 'day-light' sensing (e.g. for photovore & photophobe experiments)....read more
