Loti-Bot Programmable Floor Robot

Loti-Bot is the bridge between early programming with Bee-Bot and Blue-Bot and the more advanced work students meet later. It keeps the familiar floor-robot format, then adds the inputs, outputs and precision that make longer, more interesting programs worth writing.

The drawing capability is the standout. Loti-Bot holds a pen in an adjustable holder and moves accurately enough to draw shapes and angles that students can actually measure, which is what turns a coding lesson into a numeracy lesson. It is also sized to be shared comfortably between three learners, so a class set does not need to be large.

Features teachers use most

• Programmable LEDs and programmable bumper sensors
• Programmable proximity sensors for obstacle work
• Adjustable pen holder for accurate drawing
• Microphone and sound output

Control is over Bluetooth from a tablet running the TTS Loti-Bot app, which offers three environments in one: a simple control mode, a junior programming mode, and full block-based programming. That range is genuinely useful for differentiation, since students at different points in the same class can use the same robot at the level that suits them.
