The new DJI RoboMaster EP comes with more than 50 sensors and can be mounted as an engineering robot or an infantry robot. Users can also assemble it as a robot for organizing items, a transport robot or even a sentry robot.

The hardware of the new DJI robot includes high-performance servos, robotic arms, pins, infrared depth sensors and modules, including power transfer modules. The high-performance steering of RoboMaster EP can also be customized via a programming interface.

The new educational robot from DJI has a mechanical arm with a compact structure, supports precise FPV control and works in conjunction with a mechanical claw. Even if the target object is not in front of you, you can still complete remote tasks from a first-person perspective using the application.

RoboMaster EP supports more than 20 sensors and third-party hardware, such as Micro: bit, Arduino and Raspberry Pi, and can use its own battery to supply power to them. The EP maintains the 8mm and 16mm hole positions and provides platform substrates, chassis extension back plates and front axle adapter plates for connection. The robot also supports different operating systems like Android, iOS, Windows and macOS.

DJI launched different applications for cell phones and computers that allow users to program RoboMaster EP using programming languages ​​like Scratch 3.0 and Python 3.6. Li Zhuoquan, product manager for RoboMaster EP, said the biggest highlight of the new robot is its open SDK, which supports more than 50 programmable sensor interfaces. Students and teachers can obtain robot data from their sensor modules, video streams and audio streams to write programs to achieve collaborative multi-machine training.

At the moment it has yet to be confirmed whether the new DJI RoboMaster EP will be released in the United States and how much it will cost. The original RoboMaster S1 was launched in 2019 also as an educational robot. More information about it can be found at https://www.dji/robomaster-s1.
