Ideal robot for children to build and code mBot is a STEAM education robot for beginners, that makes teaching and learning robot programming simple and fun
With just a screwdriver, the step by step instructions, and a study schedule, children can build a robot from scratch and experience the joys of hands-on creation
As they go, they will learn about a variety of robotic machinery and electronic parts, get to grips with the fundamentals of block-based programming, and develop their logical thinking and design skills
From the outset mBot, with its big adorable eyes and cute smiley face, has enthralled more than 4.5 million children worldwide
mBot is an educational playmate for children learning to build and program, and an excellent educational aid for teachers in STEAM [1] lessons
It is also a frequent heavyweight contender at large robot competitions, such as MakeX
mBot gets children to engage both their hands and their brain, encouraging them to exercise their interdisciplinary abilities while allowing them to experience the endless fun of creation at the same time
Create a wide range of different shapes with mBots flexible body mBot has 4 expansion ports, and can connect to more than 100 kinds of electronic modules
Children can use a variety of add-on packs and more than 500 parts on the Makers Platform to build a variety of imaginative shapes
During construction, they will learn about the principles of electronics and mechanics and lay the foundations for understanding robots
mBot is also compatible with LEGO bricks meaning game play can continue to grow over time
3D building tutorials improve childrens spatial intelligence mBot uses modular design
The electronic modules and mainboard interface are colour coded so that the corresponding colours can be connected easily
All you need to get building is a screwdriver
We have also designed a 3D Construction Guide with simply worded instructions, that takes children through the complete step by step, and helps build their spatial intelligence
With 3 intelligent control modes, controlling mBot is easy Do you need to avoid obstacles ahead Or follow the line using a fancy walk Then flex those fingers, because mBot is ready to go! It comes with 3 preset control modes: Obstacle avoidance mode, mBot can automatically sense an obstacle ahead and change its path in time to avoid it; Line-follow mode, mBot can travel freely along various black and white lines; Manual control mode, children can use the remote control or the Makeblock app to program mBot directly and explore its countless other possibilities
A variety of additional programming software supports children, helping them become experts from scratch The Makeblock App is a piece of powerful operating software
It enables children to control their mBot at the touch of a button, or combine the preset control settings any way they choose
mBot is even simple enough for children who have not yet learnt to read
Do you want to explore more complicated functions Try mBlock 3 block-based programming
By simply dragging, dropping, and combining command blocks, just like building blocks, children can control mBots every move and create their own personal robot.
