DJI's imaging and control technology reaches from camera equipment to programmable ground robots. RoboMaster S1 gives a family a physical vehicle to control and program: a way to see code turn into movement. It sits within a much wider business, with its own hardware, software and support to consider.156

From Shenzhen to a broad product business

DJI says it began in 2006, identifies Frank Wang as its founder and places its headquarters in Shenzhen. Its company page describes a privately owned business serving uses from filmmaking to agriculture. The current newsroom shows a broader 2026 portfolio spanning imaging, agricultural products, drone infrastructure and ROMO 2 cleaning products.124

RoboMaster S1 brings programming into a ground vehicle designed for hands-on projects. Its documented RoboMaster Lab environment offers Scratch and Python. For a family, choosing the robot therefore also means choosing the computer or smart device on which to write and run those projects.5

Products and learning projects

DJI’s imaging products and RoboMaster S1 serve different jobs. Its current newsroom also covers agriculture, docks and cleaning products. Each line needs its own specifications, operating instructions and support checks.145

RoboMaster S1

S1's support material describes control from a computer or smart device and programming with Scratch and Python inside RoboMaster Lab. It is an opportunity to connect code with a physical vehicle within a particular software environment. Check an S1's own instructions and features when comparing it with RoboMaster EP or other education products.5

Official details ↗

Choosing for a household

DJI's S1 download page includes historical documentation and release notes dated September 16, 2020. Those documents help identify and use an existing machine, but do not establish current operating-system compatibility, repair acceptance or new stock. For a resale or remaining-stock offer, ask the seller to demonstrate the setup on your intended device.6

Can the offered S1 run your planned project?

Can the seller demonstrate official app installation and activation on the device you will use? Try a small project, check battery condition and identify a repair route for that exact model and country before paying for an older S1.456
