Where kids build robots that think.

Animobo makes bio-inspired robots — a butterfly, a duck and a crab — that students program with blocks, test in a 3D simulator and run for real with on-device AI. A complete STEM solution for schools and academies.

  • Blocks → MicroPython
  • 3D simulator in the browser
  • AI that runs on the robot

One spark, three robots

Meet the Animobo family.

01 / 03

Butterfly

Learn motion & sensing

Servo-driven wings, light and colour sensors, and RGB patterns. The gentlest first step for primary students — first loops, first events, first “it moved!”.

  • Flapping servo wings
  • Light & colour sensors
  • RGB light patterns
  • Ages 6+

02 / 03

Duck

Learn balance & locomotion

A two-legged walker inspired by open-source mini duck robots. Students discover gait, balance and feedback control with a motion sensor — then teach it to dance.

  • Bipedal walking
  • IMU balance control
  • Expressive head & eyes
  • Ages 10+

03 / 03

Crab

Learn vision & AI

Six legs, two pincers and a camera. The crab recognises colours, objects and gestures with an on-device neural network — a hands-on gateway to computer vision and Edge AI.

  • Six-leg gait
  • Camera + Edge AI
  • Gripping pincers
  • Ages 12+

One program · Two worlds

Write it once. Run it in 3D — and in real life.

Students snap blocks together in the browser. The very same program drives a physics-simulated robot on screen and, with one click, runs on the real robot over USB or Bluetooth.

ESP32-S3

MicroPython, flashed over USB or Bluetooth. No Wi-Fi setup in class.

Edge AI

Real AI, running right on the robot.

No cloud, no accounts, no data leaving the classroom. Students collect data, train a model and deploy it to the robot — then watch it decide in real time.

Computer vision

Recognise colours, objects and hand gestures.

Voice & sound

Wake words and simple spoken commands.

Train your own model

Collect data, train in the browser, deploy to the robot.

Private by design

Inference stays on the device — student data stays in school.

Learning path

From first block to first neural network.

A progression that grows with every student, from play-based discovery in primary school to Edge AI projects in high school.

01 Grades 1–3

Explore

Sequences, loops and events with the Butterfly. Play-based, story-driven lessons.

02 Grades 4–6

Build

Sensors, conditions and motion. Assemble, wire and program the Duck.

03 Grades 7–9

Code

From blocks to MicroPython. Control, feedback and the engineering design process.

04 Grades 10–12

Intelligence

Computer vision and Edge AI projects with the Crab. Competition-ready.

Solutions

Everything a STEM program needs — in one box.

Classroom kits

Robots, spare parts, chargers and storage for a whole class — ready to unbox and teach.

Ready-made lessons

Lesson plans, slides and worksheets built around Vietnam’s GDPT 2018 STEM goals.

Teacher training

Hands-on onboarding and ongoing support. No coding background needed.

Class dashboard

Track progress, share projects and grade in one place.

Runs on your lab PCs

A browser-based simulator built for low-spec computer labs. Nothing to install, nothing to maintain.

Lab-ready

Robotics clubs & contests

Challenges, arenas and match rules to turn a lesson into a season.
