We provide individuals a tool with which they can create fascinating robotics functionality. Vincross provides the whole ecosystem - software, hardware and community. One of the main reasons that there’s been a lack of progress is because innovators and developers don’t have an accessible robotics platform to experiment and create on. As a society, we’ve yet to realize our vision of truly useful and innovative household robotics. The challenge that Vincross and HEXA confront is that today, innovation in consumer robotics has been slow to take off. What is your elevator pitch for HEXA? How does it stand out from other consumer-oriented household robots? Vincross just finished a promo tour of the US, one of their core markets, where they had HEXA ambling around the New York Stock Exchange and a Wall Street Journal tech event.Īt the height of this buzz, we pulled Vincross COO Andy Xu to ask a few questions about HEXA, how the industry of robotics has so far failed to live up to its promises of future, and why China has an edge on quickly and nimbly prototyping new tech in the field.īig day for HEXA, live onstage at #WSJDLive /T42lVylT1w They’re off to a solid start: their Kickstarter campaign, which ended last month, more than doubled a $100,000 fundraising goal, and attracted more than 400 backers. Though it’s aimed initially at a tech-fluent Maker audience, Vincross bills HEXA as a “stepping stone into the fast growing field of robotics,” and their long-term goal is to provide a full ecosystem - software, hardware, and user community - for robotics enthusiasts. In a nutshell, HEXA is a fully programmable six-legged robot that can walk, climb, dance, and presumably much more, once its Software Development Kit gets bent and hacked by more users.
