Build, code and design

I am an interactive friend that comes in many forms
New Otto arrived!
We worked tirelessly to completely redesign the previous generation. In collaboration with one of the most well-recognized and innovative technology brands in the world, we have taken Otto to the next level.
This time, we tailored the product specifically for educators and home use. With new modularity, a new coding ecosystem, more intuitive features, and increased emotional engagement, Otto is now equipped with the best technology available.
🛣️ Select your path
There are two different journeys ahead for you to choose:
- Are you already skilled in programming and electronics? Take the challenging DIY bumpy route and put your skills to the test.
- Do you want to learn robotics the easiest and fastest way? Take the HP fun path and enjoy a seamless learning experience.
You are always welcome to try both 🤗
