Ozobot Ari is a compact, programmable robot with an interactive touchscreen powered by the Android operating system. This robot is specifically designed for primary and secondary education and is immediately practical thanks to the wide range of ready-made lessons.
Thanks to the interactive display, powerful technology, and built-in AI functionalities, learning becomes visual, dynamic, and meaningful. Students can program Ari in three ways using Ozobot colour codes, the Ozobot Editor (Blockly), and Python.
Improved student engagement
Ozobot Ari builds on the strong foundation of the Evo and Bit+, with new features that deepen the learning process. The colourful display shows animations, tasks, and immediate feedback, enabling students to learn actively and develop problem-solving skills. Through a secure Wi-Fi connection to the Ozobot servers, Ari has access to new lesson materials and updates.
Students can program Ari in three ways:
- Screen-freewith markers and colour codes;
- Visualthrough block programming in the Ozobot Editor (Blockly);
- Advancedwith Python, for real text-based coding;
Interactive lesson content
Through a user-friendly platform, Ari provides access to a wide range of ready-made lessons and activities for subjects such as biology, computer science, mathematics, and other STEAM disciplines. Students learn not only about the subject itself but also logical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving at various levels.
Next-Gen technology
Ozobot Ari is equipped with sensors that are typically only found in professional robots. Think of:
- Line-andcolour sensorsfor path tracking and colour recognition;
- Time-of-Flight sensor(distance sensor) for accurately measuring distances and detecting obstacles;
- Accelerometerandgyroscopefor measuring movement and orientation.
This technology makes it possible to address complex technical concepts in an understandable and playful way as an educational tool.
Prepared for AI and the future
Ozobot Ari offers unique applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the classroom. Students discover how AI works by applying it in recognisable situations, such as:
- Detecting obstacles:Ari automatically stops when it encounters an object, just like a self-driving car;
- Voice-controlled prompts:Students give verbal commands such as“go right”at an intersection. This way, they learn how voice assistants and robots with speech recognition work;
- Machine vision:Ari uses its sensors to recognise and assess objects, similar to quality control during production.
These practical applications make abstract AI concepts understandable, relevant, and fun. Ari teaches students to engage with technology in a way that connects with their experiences and prepares them for a future where AI will have an increasing impact.
