Overview
What is the Ari?
Ari is Ozobot's Android-powered programmable coding robot, and RobotLAB resells it as an affordable entry point into hands-on STEM and computer-science education. Unlike the humanoid and service robots in most of our catalog, Ari is a compact desktop cobot built around a high-resolution interactive touchscreen. That screen displays vivid text, images, and animations so students interact with lesson content directly on the robot and get instant feedback as they code, experiment, and learn.
What makes Ari flexible is that students can program it three ways: marker-based Ozobot Color Codes for the youngest learners, block-based Ozobot Blockly for elementary and middle grades, and Python for middle and high school. A built-in sensor suite (accelerometer, gyroscope, and time-of-flight sensor) ties directly into standards-aligned lesson apps so the same robot scaffolds from line-following play up through real text-based programming. Because it runs Android, schools get an extensible app ecosystem rather than a single fixed coding tool.
RobotLAB sells, deploys, and supports Ari for schools and districts across the U.S. as part of our broader education robotics portfolio. The $225 Entry Kit ships with everything one student or pair needs to get started, and we can scale the same platform into classroom kits, professional development, and curriculum rollout. As a reseller and integrator, we help you pilot, purchase, and support Ari alongside the rest of your STEM lineup.

How it works
Ari in detail
K-12 Coding and Computer Science
Ari's three-tier programming path (Color Codes, Blockly, Python) lets a single device follow students from early elementary through high school. Younger learners start with markers and line-following; older students write real Python on the same robot. This makes Ari a strong fit for districts standardizing a K-12 computer-science pathway without buying separate tools for each grade band.
Hands-On STEM and Core Curriculum
The accelerometer, gyroscope, and time-of-flight sensors feed standards-aligned lesson apps covering math, science, and engineering fundamentals. The interactive touchscreen delivers immediate feedback, turning abstract concepts like distance, motion, and life cycles into tangible classroom activities. Ari is built to teach core subjects, not just coding.
Special Education and Differentiated Instruction
Because Ari's Android software scaffolds the same concept at different levels, teachers can personalize difficulty per student and use the visual, touch-driven interface for differentiated and accessible instruction. The screen-based feedback and tactile interaction support a wide range of learners in inclusive classrooms.
Innovation Labs and Library Maker Spaces
At roughly the cost of a tablet, Ari is an affordable way to stock a school makerspace, STEM lab, or library learning station with a programmable robot. RobotLAB can supply single Entry Kits for pilots or scale to classroom kits, with deployment and curriculum support to get labs running quickly.

Questions & answers
About the Ari.
-
What exactly is the Ari robot, and who makes it?
Ari is an Android-powered programmable coding cobot manufactured by Ozobot. RobotLAB resells it as an affordable, tabletop STEM and computer-science robot for K-12 classrooms. It is not a humanoid or service robot; it is a compact desktop device built around an interactive touchscreen. To order or ask questions, call 1-87-RobotLAB.
-
What ages or grade levels is Ari designed for?
Ozobot lists the Entry Kit as Grades 3-8, while noting the platform scaffolds concepts from as young as Pre-K through 12th grade. Color Codes and line-following suit early learners, Blockly fits elementary and middle grades, and Python serves middle and high school. RobotLAB can help you match kits to your grade bands; call 1-87-RobotLAB.
-
How do students program Ari?
Three ways: marker-based Ozobot Color Codes, block-based Ozobot Blockly, and text-based Python. The same robot supports all three, so students can progress from visual coding to real Python without switching devices.
-
What comes in the $225 Ari Entry Kit?
The Entry Kit includes one Ari robot, a charging cable, five dual-tip color code markers, a screen bumper, a protective zip case, and get-started activities. It is sized for a single student or pair. For classroom-scale quantities and pricing, contact RobotLAB at 1-87-RobotLAB.
-
Can RobotLAB scale Ari for a whole classroom or district?
Yes. RobotLAB sells, deploys, and supports Ari for schools and districts and can scale from single Entry Kits for a pilot up to classroom kits, with professional development and curriculum rollout. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to discuss a deployment plan.
-
Does Ari need a tablet or internet connection?
Ari runs Android on the robot itself. For programming with Ozobot Editor on a tablet, Ozobot specifies an Android tablet from 2017 (API 24) or later connected to WiFi. Exact device and network requirements for your environment can be confirmed by calling 1-87-RobotLAB.
-
How does Ari compare to NAO or other RobotLAB education robots?
Ari is the entry-level, lowest-cost option, focused on tabletop coding and screen-based STEM lessons. Humanoid education robots like Darwin Mini and NAO add walking, speech, and richer interaction at higher price points. If you want help choosing the right robot for your budget and curriculum, call 1-87-RobotLAB.
