# Modular Robotic Construction Kits The 'MIND KIT' Robotics Maker Kit Supports Digital DIYers By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2019-02-21 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotics-maker-kit References: [geeky-gadgets](https://www.geeky-gadgets.com/modular-robotics-construction-kit-20-02-2019/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1090670314/mind-kit-maker-kit-exclusively-for-robotics) The 'MIND KIT' robotics maker kit is a set of equipment just for robotics enthusiasts that will enable them to create solutions with advanced functionality without having to source all of the various components themselves. The robot kit is based on the Linux kernel MIND OS, which makes it specifically for [programming robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-robots) and purpose-built coding for makers to use for personalized solutions. The accompanying components within the kit will allow users to custom-build their own solution that can be used for a multitude of tasks including indoor navigation experiments and much more. The 'MIND KIT' robotics maker kit allows users to stack different modules onto top of one another to allow for changes or expansion as required by the maker. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Modular Robotics:** The trend of modular robotics offers opportunities for businesses to develop customizable robot solutions that can be easily updated or expanded. - **Digital DIY:** The trend of digital DIY empowers businesses to create maker kits that provide enthusiasts with the tools they need to build personalized solutions. - **Purpose-built Coding:** The trend of purpose-built coding allows businesses to develop coding platforms specifically designed for programming robots, unlocking new possibilities for personalized robotics solutions. ### Who This Affects Most - **Robotics:** The robotics industry can leverage the modular robotics trend to create adaptable, customizable robot kits for various applications. - **Education:** The education industry can capitalize on the digital DIY trend by offering maker kits that enable students to develop hands-on skills in robotics and coding. - **Navigation Systems:** The navigation systems industry can explore the purpose-built coding trend to develop advanced indoor navigation solutions using customized robotics platforms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Diminutive DIY Desktop Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-desktop-robot.md) - [Modular Robotics Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-robotics-kit.md) - [Maker-Targeted Robot Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/irobot-create-3.md) - [Pneumatic Robotics Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pneumatic-robot-design-kit.md) - [Sustainable STEM Robot Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coderover-robot.md) - [Introductory Connected Device Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plug-and-make-kit.md) - [Open-Source Robot Companions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reachy-mini.md) - [Learning-Focused Robotics Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robots-in-motion.md) - [DIY Robotics Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/windbots.md)
