BLOCKLY.bot
Real coding. Real robots. Real possibilities.
Meet BLOCKLY.bot, the latest addition to the LEARNING.bot® family, a hands-on learning platform that enables students to program a genuine industrial collaborative robot.
Using intuitive drag-and-drop code blocks, students can create their own programs and immediately watch the robot bring them to life, moving game-inspired characters, completing challenges and interacting with real objects.
Designed especially for learners familiar with Scratch or LEGO block coding, BLOCKLY.bot removes the frustration of complicated syntax while introducing essential programming concepts such as sequences, loops, conditions, logic and precise robotic movement.
No simulation. No toy robots. This is the real thing.
With BLOCKLY.bot, students program a genuine industrial cobot, the type of robotic arm used in modern manufacturing and automation.
They experience the direct connection between their code and the physical world: every instruction produces a real movement, action or result. It is an exciting and empowering introduction to coding, robotics and engineering for young people of all backgrounds.
All activities take place in a carefully controlled learning environment under appropriate supervision.
Already tested with young learners
In partnership with Impact Academies & Camps Coventry, we introduced the BLOCKLY.bot prototype to groups of young students.
Their feedback ranged from “awesome” to “extremely satisfying” confirming just how engaging it can be to see your own code control a real industrial robot.
From first blocks to future engineering
BLOCKLY.bot is the accessible starting point within our expanding LEARNING.bot® range.
For older and more advanced students, we are also developing LUA.bot and PYTHON.bot. These platforms will introduce text-based programming, more sophisticated robot logic and increasingly advanced automation challenges, helping learners progress from their first code blocks towards real-world robotics and engineering.
