LinxPort Expansion System

One interface. Endless possibilities.

  • LinxPort

    At the top of the ata05 Teleoperated Robot, we designed an embedded expansion interface — LinxPort.
    LinxPort is the functional extension port of ata05,
    built to connect and power different functional modules.

  • LinxKey

    Around LinxPort, AIONIOS continues to develop expandable accessories. These physical modules that plug into LinxPort are called LinxKeys.

  • LinxIcon

    Once a LinxKey is inserted, users log in to the ata’s eye App, and the corresponding function is instantly activated as a dedicated on-screen icon — the LinxIcon.

LinxPort × LinxKey × LinxIcon together form the intelligent expansion system of ata05.

Why LinxKey Open?

Throughout the ata05 crowdfunding journey and as deliveries gradually reached our backers,
we received an overwhelming amount of feedback and ideas from our community requests for more LinxKeys,
and ambitions to build entirely new functions of their own.
The creativity was inspiring.
But it also became clear that no single team could develop all of these ideas at the same time.
So we chose a different path.
We decided to open the LinxPort Expansion System to our users — as a Christmas gift to everyone who believed in ata05.

LinxKey Open
An Open Plan for Builders Worldwide

LinxKey Open is a long-term initiative for creators around the world.

Through This Plan, We Provide:

  • Functional definitions for 5 circuit connection pins (PINs) inside LinxPort

  • Official technical documentation and communication protocols

  • 3D model files for the LinxPort structure and LinxKey interface

  • An upgraded ata’s eye App, supporting correct LinxIcon recognition and control for user-built LinxKeys

With These Resources, You Can:

  • Design and build their own electronic modules

  • Create custom LinxKey housings via modeling and 3D printing

  • Connect their LinxKeys to ata05 and unlock new functions through LinxIcons

From Official Ideas to Community Creation

The Christmas-themed LinxKey was originally planned as an official accessory.
Due to production timelines, it never entered mass manufacturing.

Instead, we chose to release it as the first official example of the LinxKey Open Plan
— free for everyone to download, modify, and build upon.
