DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and aerial imaging technology, takes a bold step into educational technology by launching the RoboMaster S1, the company's first ground - based robot. The S1 was built to introduce new users to the fun and possibilities of robotic technology, with powerful brushless motors, a chassis that can move in all directions, a high - precision gimbal, and interactive modes for programming, play , and competition. S1 users can have fun while assembling designated and custom hardware, learning to maneuver the rover, programming with Python or Scratch and competing with friends in multiple modes. Advanced, Safe, and Intuitively Designed The S1, short for 'Step 1', is a highly advanced rover designed to give new users an easy introduction to AI, engineering , and robotics. With its simple controls, a dedicated RoboMaster app, easily navigable menus, and a wealth of tutorials, the S1 is approachable to newcomers while offering advanced features to users already experienced in AI, engineering, and robotics. The S1 is equipped with 31 sensors to help map the world around it, including six on its intelligent body armor, which are used in competition mode to detect hits. Atop the durable S1 frame is a first - person view (FPV) camera that sends a stabilized live fee d from the S1 to the RoboMaster app. It also features a specialized mechanical gimbal with an infrared and nontoxic gel bead Blaster, which automatically lim
