The API allows a very advanced and very deep control of the robot. You can get data to your onboard or remote computer (for example, odometry readings or IMU data, motors current consumption, the detailed status of virtually any sensor, etc.). You can control the robot to the deepest level (for example, deep settings of the indoor positioning system or front LEDs for illumination or control the external power switches, etc.).

Questions and Answers
What is the maximum speed that this device can move?
It is a relatively slow thing – up to 1-1.5m/s. Besides, there is a trade-off between the accuracy of movements and the speed.
In general, Marvelmind robots are not fast intentionally. If everything, absolutely everything goes wrong with the robot, it must remain safe, i.e. it must not be too heavy and too fast.
Is the API command for controlling from a PC using Wi-Fi publicly available?
I want to remotely control from a PC using C #, but I want to know in advance what kind of control can be done.
Yes, there is a such API. It is open and available. But it not using WiFi. It is using a license-free ISM radio in 915/868MHz.
Yes, it would be possible to control the robot from a PC.
Thank you for your reply.
Would you please let me know if there is a URL where the API is open to the public?
The API for Robot v100 is published and available. But the API for Boxie is not yet published. It is an enriched version of the Robot v100 API, because Boxie has significantly more functionality.
We will publish it soon.
