Alvik is a robot designed to be used in STEAM & Maker enviroments where openess and a wide compatibility with other products and construction systems are key. Thanks to that Alvik's capabilities can be expanded with new sensors and actuators using the additional connectors on its back, and with additional mechanical extensions like Lego Technic pieces or 3D printed/custom made parts. In the following sections we will explain how to expand Alvik's capabilities.
