National Instruments and LEGO, have partnered to develop the next generation toys called LEGO MINDSTORMS®. These programmable robots are smarter, stronger, and more intuitive than ever. The goal of the collaboration is to wrap science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in a cool package that engages their motivation and involvement. The LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT software enables you to program your NXT robots via USB or Bluetooth connectivity. As you see in the screencaps above, you can actually drag and drop crawling, walking and more instructions into the panel. I can’t help imagine what another decade will would bring, maybe my kids will be tweaking androids by then. [NationalInstruments]
