PLEN is a robot kit consisting control boards, servomotors and accessories that you can put together yourself.

PLEN is a small desktop toy humanoid robot that can replicate complex human movements. It is controlled remotely by use of a Bluetooth enabled phone. When programmed, it is able to use a skateboard, rollerskates, pick up, kick and throw small things, and stand up if he tumbles to the floor. It does not feature any sensors or automatic software reactions to certain events, as it is entirely remote-controlled.

PLEN is a small desktop toy humanoid robot that can replicate complex human movements. It is controlled remotely by use of a Bluetooth enabled phone. When programmed, it is able to use a skateboard, rollerskates, pick up, kick and throw small things, and stand up if he tumbles to the floor. It does not feature any sensors or automatic software reactions to certain events, as it is entirely remote-controlled.3D data for the main components of the robot are provided free of charge. Thus, using a 3D printer, anyone can customize the data and make their own original parts.<h1>Design</h1><img data-fr-image-pasted="true" src="https://projects.wevolver.com/wevolver.staff/Plen%20Robot/readfile?path=Images/18-DOF-Humanoid-Vivi-Robot-Plen2-Plastic-Frame-Compatible-With-Arduino-3D-Plen-2-Open-Source.jpg_640x640.jpg&amp;permissions=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9.eyJleHAiOjE2MDM1NjcwOTQsImlzcyI6Indldm9sdmVyIiwidXNlciI6IjVjZWNiZjA4YjQyY2JhMTM2ZWMyZWM3ZiIsInByb2plY3QiOiJQbGVuIFJvYm90IiwicGVybWlzc2lvbnMiOiJbJ3JlYWQnLCAnd3JpdGUnLCAnY3JlYXRlJ10ifQ.lrDZd0dgJ-R2RH8D5WBzpwb5UBNpjPmcgnZLdiq-Sd8NXGyyTHK2BjiCLFscvxEZturAlGJDEa44dbLk5dtLWzxcmj8tljJ3lWCpdidmXlTB5P_arWRd7LLPItFzanABVaZ_JviSlwxA4oo5soUOVG4pU8OPDPp-lQRC_JSgXnlJSWtA0W1B_Sp452dPxxyWJKDFXPWRqbIdeXWy9J_qZUXjLd7lku4iXG9ncdfq2GluoZSblM0wewUSF7JMnTB97qIMKooHKcv4WPp8P3W3zOzaAMNyVue0kyRkxik_UDZ7rDsntm5Vkwz5W2pwiRmDaarhwlzktPzV3K0TvVzD3ltdgnwgtshu3kfjjFrh7U7Pup7E2UtxcLCCvQtpnmvm2y1tLQll5Ru3B1hAnzPB_fTcHUTJOjzAyKMkpImSCjk8fLVJvudBvcZCHMXsNgrmfozrl0EZS_UD3236n-Gg4BuhZb4BY25vB6jE8kxGJqOOAsMCCu-Ht9CcSd3MWkE_6T5hSCwgNOBtJwkCdE7rpjbyfS_fMyNUE01BBisS4bgAcTYrFmMEmoMZgJNSLd93AcOh9bCPPBvR_vvT2cxUu9fZe1Yi00ntm6zx36LrU0swFHSgXOgP2711fuIDUgWLEuA7iXRiSF1_WEAX2w4jOdsKZyFaCrE-kR9m2-JeOLo" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii">The control board of PLEN2 is an Arduino compatible control.

Students and grown-ups have the opportunity to learn about programming, machine control, electronic circuits, and design. Researchers, engineers and developers can use PLEN to perform lots of other helpful functions such as sending images and fetching objects from places they cannot see or get to themselves.
