Ohbot

How do Ohbot educational robots work? The beginnings

Ohbot is a British brand of educational robots intended for children over 7 years of age. They are used all over the world for the study of electronics, robotics and programming. Ohbot robots will also prove themselves during classes devoted to programming and artificial intelligence. The devices are compatible with the Windows operating system, as well as with Raspberry Pi minicomputers, thanks to which - especially in the first version - they can be massively used by kindergartens, schools and other educational centers. A very important advantage of British Ohbot robots is that they can be programmed using the graphic method (Scratch) or with the help of a programming language (Python).

Ohbot is a brand created by two enthusiasts: robotics Mat Walker and teacher Dan Warner. The first works on the project began in 2014. Ohbots reached their final form three years later - in 2017. They have also been updated since then. These machines are manufactured at Halliday's Mill in Gloucestershire, UK. This also proves the quality of these educational robots.

The main goal of the creators was to create a visually attractive robot that will have many functions and will allow children to program in such a way that even the youngest of them will intuitively understand the introduced rules and commands. The mission of the Ohbot creators was successful - the Ohbot robot works perfectly well and is a full-fledged solution for learning the basics of electronics and programming for children.

Ohbot is much more than just an educational robot

Ohbot educational robots were created to interest children in robotics, electronics and programming at an early age. That is why the developers decided to place all electronic modules in a form resembling a human face. These shapes are more likeable to children and make it easier to bond with the robot. The individual elements of the robot's face are interactive, so that apart from learning, we also have fun. Ohbot educational robots are equipped with a number of sensors and special systems, thanks to which they can receive signals from the environment and react to them. Face synchronization, speech, text-to-speech technology - Ohbots have a lot to offer our youngest! The most important thing is that they are able to effectively introduce the child to understanding the principles of mathematics and programming, develop logic and cause-effect thinking.

In a view of all these possibilities, it becomes clear that the Ohbot educational robots are a perfect proposition for parents who are looking for a gift idea for their children that will not only entertain, but also teach. Ohbot will do both those things great. It is also a great idea for schools and kindergartens and all teachers who would like to encourage their children to learn electronics and programming.

Robotic anatomy – advanced Ohbot’s construction

In this category, you can find both Ohbot Picoh educational robots and various electronic accessories related to them. You can choose a blue or red robot version. The device is extremely compact and intuitive to use.

The great advantage of this product is the face, which not only resembles a human face in terms of anatomical shape, but also shows the robot's emotional reactions. The head part is equipped with an eye-mapping display and three servos that allow the robots to move their head and jaw.

The device has been designed in the way that its capabilities increase with the user’s level of programming. So in the beginning, children will not get all the robot's capabilities. Instead, they will unlock them themselves when the progress will be done enough through education challenges!
