About Us
Institute for Robotics and Digital Technology (IRDT), the R&D team under SmartObject Network group, specializes in various robotics platforms and system integration. We are equipped with sufficent design experience and R&D power to serve local and overseas organizations and individual clients. In order to let more people interested in Robot development learn through systematic training, explore appropriate technical concepts, as well as design and accomplish ideal robots, IRDT has taken up the role of training materials development and Robotics Education. IRDT continually spends much effort in new and advanced robotics technology integration so as to provide the public with friendly and satifactory learning environments.

Web-enabled Arduino | |
We are keen in applying Arduino, an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software in our projects. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.
Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators.
We add Arduino to robots, and even ethernet shield with routers for web control. We use Arduino as teaching materials, as well as integrating Arduino with our SmartRobot in training. Stay tuned to our coming training series for primary and secondary school students!
