Create® 3 educational robot features:
Build and test robotics applications
The 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 industrystandard software for roboticists
worldwide. Or leverage the iRobot
Coding App and the iRobot Education
Python 3 SDK for increased access to
robotics education and research.
Operational out of the box
Program, connect to, and control
the Create® 3 educational robot 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
Aordably develop scalable robotics
projects with the Create® 3 robot’s
combination of intelligent sensors
and actuators. The robot comes with
a Home Base® charging station for
docked charging.
