LittleBot Buddy is the 9th robot to come from the Slant Concepts line of LittleBots STEM kits. This addition is the most personable of all. Buddy is an interactive robotics kit that is simple to build and designed to help kids get excited about creating a robotic companion.
Buddy is the culmination of nearly 2 years of work. LittleBots has been experimenting with variants of Buddy since the first LittleBots kits were released. They finally found a design that was both highly interactive and simple to build.
Buddy works by observing the world around him. When something changes he generates completely unique reactions, just as a living creature would do. He is completely spontaneous. This helps Buddy to maintain kid’s attention longer as they build and work with him.
The kit can be built in under an hour, does not require any soldering, and has fewer than 15 screws. This makes is simple to build even for the most inexperienced users.
The main chip is arduino and can be reprogrammed using standard or graphical programming tools, such as the Arduino IDE or Makeblock.
Adding to the uniqueness of Buddy is the fact that he is 3D Printed. LittleBots made this choice to both create a cleaner design with fewer parts and to invite kids to edit and build on the robot. “When the robot is 3D printed kids know they are allowed to 3D print more parts using the printer in a classroom,” stated Gabe Bentz, lead designer of the LittleBots Project.
All together Buddy is a very interactive robotics kits that is simple to get started with but packs a good amount of complexity into a simple little package.
The kit is currently available for preorders on Kickstarter and was 25% funded within it first 12 hours of going live. Preorders are expected to start shipping in December 2019.

Hannover, 10. Juli 2019 – Zum siebten Mal verwandelt sich das Hannover Congress Centrum (HCC) in einen fantastischen „place-to-be“: Künstler, Bastler und Technikverrückte überbieten sich auf der Maker Faire Hannover mit einzigartigen und spektakulären Projekten und laden zum Mitmachen ein. Zu den Highlights am 17. und 18. August zählen atemberaubende Kreaturen − ein feuerspeiender Wolf und eine leuchtende Riesenkrake.
Das große Staunen beginnt bereits am Eingang, wo Fenrir seinen heißen Atem ausstößt. Der niederländische Industriedesigner Ronald Duikersloot ent-wickelte eine metallische Wolfs-Skulptur, die feuerspeiend beeindruckt. Ein weiterer Hingucker aus seinem Atelier ist Rusty, ein umgebauter VW Käfer, der mit Flammenwerfer und CO2-Kanone ebenfalls für ordentlich Wirbel sorgt. Dabei liefert er sich ein Battle mit dem gegenüber platzierten Roboter Big Foot, erbaut vom englischen Künstler Frank Barnes. Die Kreatur aus Stahl, Aluminium und Plastik fällt nicht nur durch ihre großen Füße auf, sondern auch durch ihre imposante Feuer- und Rauch-Show. Der Wahl-Berliner Barnes ist bekannt durch seine Roboterband ‚Compressorhead‘, mit der er durch die ganze Welt tourt. Jetzt feiert er Maker Faire-Premiere in Hannover und bringt noch weitere Roboter mit.
In der neuen Dark Gallery versetzt die achtarmige Riesenkrake Ocho vom britischen Designer Tim Davies die Besucher in Staunen. Mit einer Spannweite von sieben Metern und tollen Lichteffekten kommt die Krake daher, als wäre sie direkt der Unterwasserwelt eines Walt-Disney-Films entsprungen.
Darüber hinaus lockt die aufwändig umgebaute DeLorean Zeitmaschine als attraktiver Anziehungs-punkt und begehrtes Fotomotiv: Die deutsche Zeitmaschine von Alexander Günnewig basiert auf einem echten DeLorean DMC-12. Nach 16 Jahren der Teilesuche, ist der Nachbau aus „Zurück in die Zukunft“ jetzt nicht nur innen und außen interaktiv, sondern weltweit der erste und einzige ferngesteuerte DeLorean.
Zu den weiteren Attraktionen der Maker Faire Hannover – insbesondere für Star-Wars-Fans – zählen auch in diesem Jahr die originalgetreuen R2D2-Nachbauten des R2-Builders-Clubs sowie die packenden Kampfroboterduelle der bekannten Mad Metal Machines.
Aber eine Maker Faire heißt nicht nur staunen, sondern auch lernen, fachsimpeln, netzwerken, ausprobieren und vor allem selber machen.
Infos und Tickets zum bunten Familienfestival gibt es unter www.maker-faire.de/hannover. Noch bis zum 12. Juli gilt der Frühbucherpreis.

(San Francisco, California, June 12, 2019) The Revolution Robotics Foundation is reimagining educational robotics and has launched a Kickstarter campaign for its new robot kit: the Revolution Robotics Challenge Kit. This kit and its accompanying free mobile app will provide kids and mentors with a more accessible and affordable robotics learning tool and platform.
“We envision a world where more kids participate in robotics than any other organized sport,” said Jared Schrieber, President and Co-Founder of the foundation. “As a true non-profit, we are dedicated to leveraging and developing open source technologies that make STEM learning challenges and robotics competitions accessible, fair and fun for kids globally.”
“The future of workforce development will require programs that teach students real-life problem-solving skills through hands-on learning activities like what Revolution Robotics has created,”said Jason Morrella, Executive Director and Co-Founder. “Just a few out of a million kids who play sports growing up will ever be able to make a living at it, but there are amazing, fulfilling and rewarding careers in science, technology and engineering for 100% of the kids who learn to build and program these robots.”
The non-profit foundation was established in early 2018, with a focus on designing an open source and affordable educational robotics platform to achieve their mission, instead of a kit being sold primarily to generate revenue for for-profit companies. The new Revolution Robotics Challenge Kit is a ground breaking, low cost robot kit that costs hundreds of dollars less than other robot kit options available to students and schools previously.
The Challenge Kit is a complete robot-building package, offering over 530 pieces – including the Raspberry Pi based brain, five powerful motors, an ultrasonic sensor, accelerometer, gyro sensor, bumper switch, gears, axles and hundreds of structural pieces. The accompanying Revolution Robotics app will provide kids ages 8 -13 an easy-to-use drag and drop programming interface to configure, code, and control their robots with any iOS or Android smartphone or tablet. More experienced robot builders and programmers can also enjoy the thrills of writing more complex code via Python.
As shared by David Dudas, Head of Engineering, “It’s designed for both classrooms and the home, and is much more than just a really cool toy robot. The robot’s brain includes a Raspberry Pi board and will be able to accommodate several different types of sensors and motors. Plus, we’ve developed a free mobile app that will let kids code and drive the robots they create with their phones and tablets.”
In 2020 the foundation will begin a new competition program built upon single day local and regional competitions, with challenges that change throughout the year to ensure students are always solving new problems, learning new concepts and creating new designs. Students will be able to compete around the world, including signature international championship events in multiple countries.
The Revolution Robotics Foundation is a true non-profit focused on revolutionizing youth robotics by making products and programs affordable, accessible, educational, fair and fun. Through an open-source platform, student focused competition program, and extensive resource system, the Foundation seeks to prioritize the interests of participating students and the teachers and mentors supporting them. The founding team envision a world where more kids participate in robotics than any other organized sport, while celebrating student learning and achievement.
Root robot is uniquely designed to help kids learn coding at home and in school
BEDFORD, Mass., June 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT), the leader in consumer robots, has announced the addition of the Root coding robot to its product lineup through the acquisition of Root Robotics. With technology initially developed by a founding group within the Wyss Institute at Harvard University, Root is a fun and easy-to-use educational robot that uniquely teaches coding and 21st century problem-solving skills to children as young as four years old. This acquisition supports iRobot’s plans to diversify its educational robot product offerings, further demonstrating its commitment to make robotic technology more accessible to educators, students and parents.
The Root coding robot is a two-wheeled, mobile platform. The robot operates on flat surfaces at home, like tables, floors, and countertops, and vertical surfaces in a classroom, like a magnetic whiteboard. When paired with the companion mobile application, users can instruct Root to draw artwork, scan colors, play music, respond to touch and sound, climb whiteboard walls, and explore the fundamentals of robotics. Root uses three levels of coding language, from simple graphical blocks for young children to full text coding for more advanced users.
„The acquisition of Root Robotics allows iRobot to broaden the impact of its STEM efforts with a commercially available, educational robotic platform already being used by educators, students and parents,“ said Colin Angle, chairman and CEO of iRobot. „Root also helps increase the reach of iRobot’s educational robot line by offering a proven system for people of all ages, including students in elementary school.“
„The Root coding robot is an incredibly powerful tool for learning to code because it intuitively scales to users‘ abilities,“ said Zee Dubrovsky, co-founder of Root Robotics who will now become general manager of Educational Robots at iRobot. „A four-year-old can begin coding Root using simple pictures and symbols that translate to robot actions. Once a child has mastered graphical coding, they can seamlessly toggle to the next two levels, which introduce hybrid coding, followed by full text coding. This scalable approach is what has been missing from other educational coding robots.“
The acquisition of Root Robotics is not expected to contribute materially to iRobot’s 2019 financial performance. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
