Wish to control robots..? Then you are at the right place. Soft Illusion channel is back with a new video on kamigami robots..!! (A channel which aims to help the robotics community).

Kamigami are app-controlled, build-it-yourself robot kits that mimic the way real creatures move in nature. They can be built using using foldable plastic material.
They are fast and fun to drive. You can build and enjoy the robot in less than an hour.
Designed after nature's fastest critters, they magically fold up from a flat sheet & zoom over almost any terrain, even outside.
You can download the free app from your favorite app store to drive your Kamigami, battle with friends, play interactive games, or, best of all, design and program your robot's reactions, games and movements.
The real fun happens when you get two or more Kamigami robots together to do battle.
Below is an overview of the different features in the robot.
Characters:
There are eight different Kamigami character kits, which include the interchangeable chassis (which can be used with any shell) and one of eight different shells: Scarrax, Atlaser, Vypod, Lina, Terrix, Bokken, Musubi or Mantix.
Assembly:
The main body of the robot, the part that includes the motor, comes preassembled. Putting together the rest of the robot consists two main activities: assembling the chassis and attaching the shell.
The first step now is to download the Kamigami Controller app from iTunes, the Google Play Store, or the Amazon Appstore. When you first open the app, it will show you a Connect button.
Once you press that, it will prompt you to turn your robot on by pressing the red button on the bottom of the chassis. The app will then search for a robot nearby. You tell the app which kind of robot you have, and then you can choose a name from a list. The list is actually pretty funny, with choices like "Bitey" and "Fluffy."
App:
The app connects to your robot via Bluetooth. If you've already named your robot on one device, then its name, achievements and any coding you've been working on will carry over to other devices. If you have more than one robot turned on, you can choose which one to connect to. But you can control only one robot at a time with each device.
In addition to controlling the robot's movements, you can also use the app to disconnect the robot, turn it off, change its name or icon, or reset it, which will erase all of the robot's information and achievements.
Games:
Kamigami has four different games to choose from: Run, Dance, Tag and Battle. Tag and Battle require an opponent robot and device. For all four of the games, the robot is controlled with an on-screen joystick that can move the robot forward or backward, or make it turn clockwise or counterclockwise.
Coding:
The Code mode lets you drag and drop commands onto a time line to design a pattern for your robot to follow. The available actions include walking forward and backward, vibrating, turning, changing colors, and making noises. So far, I haven't found a limit to how many commands I can add to a string (my last one had 50).
Movement:
The robots are very light and don't feel sturdy, but I think that's what allows them to fall off of a table and run into walls without getting damaged. Their movements are frantic and funny; they scamper more than run. If you're used to the controlled movements of most robots, these bots will seem unusual. The inventors claim that they move much like real bugs do, with their six feet moving in an alternating pattern.
Sounds:
The robots themselves don't have speakers, but they do make a good bit of noise on their own when they're scampering about. The dance sounds, lasers and other noises actually come from your device's speaker.
Bottom Line:
Once the Kamigami robots are assembled, they offer a lot of different activities, and you can have a lot of fun playing with these bots. And while they're interesting to look at and it's fun to watch them move, battling is where they excel. While the coding activity is basic, a child who has never coded before can start thinking like a coder and programming in strings of steps. What will probably hold a child's attention the most is having more than one robot and someone else to play with.
Some fun facts:
1. Kamigami means "spirit paper" in Japanese.
2. The original kamigami were designed after cockroaches.
3. Kamigami has won five Maker Faire "Editor's Choice" awards.
What an amazing way to support the growing community of robotics👏hats off to you guys 👍
Thank you very much 😇
knew it.😜
I love it!!!!!!!!🤓🤓🤓🤓
Building this robot is more fun.
You can do a robo fight with friends.
But they are discontinued
And I have one
I have 3 of these robots that my son wants to build but I can’t find the APP for the instructions and to connect them. Is it still available?? I’m using an Apple device.
They took down the app from App Store 😑
Darn, okay, thanks for your reply!
I am not a friend
