The software IDE is called UpCom and is served by the robot over the network. The programming environment consists of tabs with the option to choose from editor and console (default tabs) or user defined application specific tabs. Mentioned below are the hardware specs for the robot:

- 1.4GHz Dual core intel atom

- ATmega2560 micro-controller for low level motor control

- 5DOF arm

- 4 wheeled drive

- 4 IR sensors for low level obstacle avoidance

- Dual cameras for stereoscopic imaging (optional replacement with Intel's real sense)
