Test your own ideas or try programming right away
You will try everything in the form of a fun game
Apps, games and editor can be found on the Internet and other necessities in the Ozobot´s package
Even creativity will not stay aside – draw guiding lines and ozocodes on a paper and equip it with your own backdrops
Ozobot is an approved educational aid for schools
It excels in the interpretation of mathematics, programming, robotics and computer science, as well as science
In order to not loose any enthusiasm of playing with Ozobot, all the operations are maximally facilitated. Whether you draw your own path or go straight into programming, do not forget to calibrate the Ozobot continuously. How to do it?
To get started you need markers and paper
You can also use the challenge sheets, that the Ozobot Evo has in the package
Draw ozocodes - Path sections in red, green and blue, according to which Ozobot knows what to do
Create your own game plan from the black lines or download the prepared labyrinths and racing paths
And do it always when you change type of flat below (eg touchscreen/paper) or change the ambient light temperature
You can also decorate the Ozobota with your own costume
How do you start to move with Ozobot Evo?
Simply, by using ozocodes. When you creating them no limits are set. Invent crazy choreography for Ozobot Evo or send him for a treasure hunt. Draw a path with markers or upload your own script.
Ozocodes are colored static codes in the form of alternating lines of red, blue and green colors
Draw the ozocodes or print the completed paths
In the application environment you will find ozocodes in the form of flashing interactive color points that Ozobot loads
The path of Ozobota also consists black lines, intersections etc.
Draw a intersection on the line and if it does not have exact instructions, Ozobot Evo will decide which direction to go
You can save your ozocodes composition in your app
The programming editor OzoBlockly is accessible from any browser, and tips for using can be found below
Ozobots in action:
Applications, games and OzoChat
Download one of the free apps and pair Ozobota Evo via Bluetooth
In the application, you can customize your Ozobot (colors of diodes, sounds, reactions)
The virtual joystick controls the Evo Ozobot up to a distance of 10 m
Play a variety of games with Ozobots and open up other challenges, rewards, and personalization options
New friends are waiting for you, on your Ozobot´s OzoChat, to whom you can send the greetings through Ozojis
Your Ozobot will be comfortable with these applications for example (in English):
Basic Ozobot Evo application free for smartphones and tablets with iOS system version 8.0+, or Android system version 4.1+ and support of Bluetooth 4.0.
In tablet-only application Ozobot you can draw command lines, solve logical tasks, search for exit from a labyrinth, or play social games with friends directly on the touchscreen. For iOS 7.0+, or Android 4.0+.
With application OzoGroove for smartphones and tablets (iOS 7.0+, Android 4.0+) you will make Ozobots dance according to your own choreography for selected music.
Inspire yourself from Evo's OvoGroove dance arts and dresses:
Programming in OzoBlockly
You can run OzoBlockly block editor on any browser and tablet (with systems iOS and Android), except the iPad Mini. Programming can be handled by younger elementary school students, so why would not you? Compose individual sequences by drag and drop system.
Choose skill level, type of movement, light effects and timing
The correctly placed part of the script snaps into a sequence by dragging it, similar as a puzzle
Start from simple things and get to programming of complex logical operations
The completed program will be uploaded to Ozobot through an interactive spot on the screen (at 100% screen brightness)
You can then start the created sequence by double-tapping on the switching button
And that´s it, you have just programmed the robot!
In 2012, Nader Hamda came up with a little robot which was then named “Ozobot” by his ten-year-old daughter. After 2 years of development, the robot is presented at the largest consumer electronics fair in Las Vegas. Since then, Ozobot has been making entertaining programmable robots for the next generations.
The Ozobot´s mission is to inspire young people to develop new technologies instead of using them passively. As of now, the entire Ozobot concept perfectly fulfils the principles of STEAM education – the interconnection of polytechnic studies and a creative approach to the development of a sustainable future.
