The Create 3 is the next generation of iRobot's affordable, trusted, all-in-one mobile robot development platform for advanced makers learning ROS 2.
This buildable, mobile STEM solution allows kids to tackle robotics projects with a development platform used for mounting additional hardware. Students can grasp robotics, computer science, and engineering fundamentals by programming the iRobot Create 3 to perform simple behaviors, sounds, and movements. Then, they can explore advanced CS applications, like multi-robot exploration, navigation and mapping technology, and telepresence capabilities.
A new and improved version of its popular predecessor, the Create 3 provides a full suite of modules, sensors, LED lights, and wheels to fuel robotics exploration.
Multi-language software support
Learn using ROS 2, the industry-standard software for roboticists worldwide, or leverage the iRobot Coding App and the iRobot Education Python 3 SDK for increased access to robotics opportunities and research.
Operational out of the box
Program, connect to, and control the Create 3 educational robot right out of the box with an easy onboarding process. Communicate with the robot using Wi-Fi, Ethernet over USB, or Bluetooth Low Energy technology.
Equipped with smart technology
Educators can develop affordable and scalable classroom robotics projects with the Create 3 robot's combination of intelligent sensors and actuators. The robot also comes with a Home Base charging station for docked charging.
Educator resources available
Explore the iRobot Education Learning Library for tutorials and sample projects or venture into expansive, online open-source databases for access to software packages and libraries in ROS 2 or Python 3.
