Other than the tiny educational robots (Jetbot) and various parts/accessories, most Sharx Robotics products are only offered to experts and trained professionals. Many of the components we purchase and integrate into fully functioning robots come with warning labels that make those components or products built using those components unsuitable for general consumer use.
Yes our Carter and Kaya robots are based on Nvidia’s Isaac SDK, which is available for free download after you register for Nvidia’s developer program and accept their license agreement. To make it really easy to get started, we even sell pre-configured PCs with the software already loaded and ready to go. The smallest robots use Jetbot software, which requires click-to-agree licensing but does not require signing up for any developer program.
