Hello, World

Introducing the Create 3 Educational Robot

The next generation of iRobot's affordable, trusted, all-in-one mobile robot development platform. For advanced makers learning ROS 2.

A buildable, mobile robotics platform

Tackle robotics projects with an affordable, trusted mobile robot development platform that features a buildable design to mount additional hardware.

Begin with basic behaviors

Grasp the fundamentals of robotics, computer science, and engineering by programming the Create® 3 to perform simple behaviors, sounds, and movements.

Evolve to advanced robotics applications

Tap into advanced applications including multi-robot exploration, navigation and mapping technology, and telepresence capabilities. Additional hardware not included.

Your Canvas to Create without Restraint

Arriving equipped with our smartest technology yet, the Create 3 educational robot offers a full suite of modules, sensors, LED lights, wheels, and behaviors to fuel robotics exploration.

Communicate

Operational out of the box, you can communicate with the Create 3 Educational Robot using Wi-Fi, Ethernet over USB, or Bluetooth® Low Energy technology. The Create® 3 educational robot will support learning with ROS 2 or iRobot Education's SDK for Python 3.

Connect & Store

Using the Create® 3 Educational Robot's built-in USB-C™ port, you can attach and run third-party hardware—and use the cargo bay for storage.

Build & Expand

The Create® 3 Educational Robot's top faceplate is easily removable, can be locked in place with a single screw, and features a standard hole pattern for mounting LiDAR scanners, camera modules, and other sensors.

Dock & Charge

Send the Create® 3 Educational Robot back to its Home Base® charging station to dock and charge.

Learn & Explore
