Hands-On Robotics for K-12 Classrooms

Shenzhen Pbrobot Technology Co., Ltd. provides a zero-barrier, project-based robotics courseware designed around the Scratch-compatible visual programming environment and open-source quadruped robot platforms.

Engineered specifically for schools, makerspaces, and coding academies, our curriculum bridges mechanical assembly, algorithmic thinking, and physical computing. Learners begin by controlling leg joints and progress directly into developing automated behaviors with sensory feedback.

  • Standards-Aligned: Comprehensive modular lesson plans created for easy teacher adoption without prior robotics background.
  • Cross-Platform Environment: Native compatibility across Windows, macOS, and Linux workstations.
  • Hardware Ready: Perfectly calibrated for Bittle and Bittle X open-source bionic robot dogs.
Structured Pedagogy

Why Educational Institutions Adopt Petoi Curriculum

Moving beyond conventional wheeled carts, legged bionic robotics offers an authentic platform for studying real-world bio-mechanics, kinematics, and robotics computing.

Visual block coding interface and robotics joint controls
Module 01

Foundational Robotics & Visual Logic

Students explore basic concepts of microcontrollers, coordinate systems, and joint actuation without syntax errors. Through snap-together blocks, beginners learn sequencing, loops, conditions, and variable manipulation to dictate movement patterns.

  • Introduction to physical computing, servo rotation, and serial bus protocols
  • Programming essential postures: sitting, standing, trotting, crawling, and greeting
Module 02

Visual Skill Composer & Gait Kinematics

Using the visual Skill Composer module, learners interactively simulate joint angles and export keyframe animations directly into block routines. This teaches spatial reasoning, center of mass, balance restoration, and custom locomotion cycles.

  • Direct joint angle manipulation with live feedback telemetry
  • Designing smooth custom choreography, dance sequences, and agile maneuvers
Module 03

IoT Sensors & Environmental Responsiveness

Integrating the standard Grove-compatible sensor pack transforms quadruped robots into responsive edge computing systems. Students program real-time reactive routines based on lighting, motion, obstacles, and touch.

  • Obstacle avoidance via Infrared Distance and PIR Motion sensing
  • Interactive stimulus response: touch triggers, light-following, and gesture recognition
