Description
Lego Mindstorms (sometimes stylized as LEGO MINDSTORMS ) is a discontinued hardware and software structure which develops programmable robots based on Lego bricks. Each version included a programmable microcontroller (or intelligent brick), a set of modular sensors and motors, and parts from the Lego Technic line to create mechanical systems. The system is controlled by the intelligent brick, which acts as the brain of the mechanical system.
While originally conceptualized and launched as a tool to support educational constructivism, Mindstorms has become the first home robotics kit available to a wide audience. It has developed a community of adult hobbyists and hackers as well as students and general Lego enthusiasts following the product's launch in 1998. In October 2022, The Lego Group announced that the Lego Mindstorms brand would be discontinued by the end of the year.
