With over 30 years of expertise as the leading consumer robot company, iRobot™ is on a mission to inspire the next generation of learners. iRobot offers two different robots, a coding platform, and a library of robotics activities. Perfect for students at any level, iRobot products grow with students by using three progressive levels of coding.
Authentic student engagement. 21st century skills. Use robots to connect classroom learning with the real world.
iRobot provides coding and robotics education for all ages, from early learning to higher education. All robots use a combination of sensors, interactive features, and a versatile design. Plus, the iRobot Coding App invites creativity and problem solving, allowing students to complete challenges with SimBots in a simulated 3D environment, and also connect interactive robots in the real world.
Robots in the iRobotTM Family
Designed for all skill levels, iRobots allow students to innovate, create, and code through real-world experiences.
Root® Robots
Root is a coding companion for all ages! Root robots use a combination of sensors and interactive features to provide the ultimate interactive coding experience. Unlike other coding robots, the Root defies gravity! The inclusion of magnets allows Root to climb vertically on magnetic whiteboards, making it easier to use in any learning environment.

iRobot Coding App
The iRobot Coding App teaches coding in three distinct developmental levels and uses an auto-level converter to seamlessly switch between learning levels, making it simple to differentiate learning.
Level 1 – Graphical Blocks
Drag and drop graphical blocks to teach users fundamental logic skills.
Level 2 – Hybrid Blocks
Blocks that feature a mix of graphics and coding script to build coding fluency.
Level 3 – Full-Text Blocks
Full text code to teach the structure and syntax of professional coding languages.
The coding platform can be accessed from iRobot’s website, or you can download the app for Apple or Android devices. Plus, it can be used with SimBots in a 3D simulated environment right on your device, or you can connect via Bluetooth to a Root robot to see your code come to life!
Create 3 Resources
The Create 3 robot comes ready to program out of the box. iRobot provides multiple ways to get started with mobile robot programming:
Robust online resources via Github, like the Gazebo Create 3 simulator, as well as custom ROS 2 interfaces and applications
iRobot Python Web Playground – a web-based coding platform to connect with your robot, run code, and explore ideas
iRobot Learning Library
The Learning Library offers hours of both free and premium coding tutorials, STEM projects, and classroom activities for SimBot, Root, and Create 3. There is something for everyone in the Learning Library, from users with no coding experience, to advanced computer programming students. Plus, you can generate student excitement through all subject areas with lessons that include art, ELA, math, social studies, science, and more.
