About the book →STEM robots, AI platforms, and curriculum-aligned content for Pre-K through graduate research. Part of 46,000+ classroom robots deployed across 7,400+ schools and districts. Title I, ESSER, and Perkins CTE grant-compatible.
Districts buy STEM kits and they end up in closets because teachers aren't confident with the tech. RobotLAB includes professional development with every deployment so teachers walk in day one ready to teach.
A robot is only as good as the curriculum behind it. We deliver NGSS, CSTA, ISTE, and Common Core-aligned lesson plans with every platform, so the robot maps directly to your existing standards.
Title I, ESSER, Perkins CTE, and state STEM grants all have different rules and timelines. We provide grant-ready quotes, line-item documentation, and procurement support so funding doesn't stall the program.
Our techs map your facility. Robots learn doorways, glass walls, no-go zones.
Set zones, times, and modes. Robots run on a schedule that fits your operation.
Fleet dashboard shows runtime, coverage, and maintenance needs. Weekly reports.
From elementary coding to advanced humanoid AI research. Grant-compatible procurement and curriculum included.
The Unitree As2-W is the new mid-size wheel-leg platform — 25 kg, 16 kg of payload, 30 km on a charge, IP54, 30 cm stairs and an industrial 64–128-line LiDAR on every build, from a bare X platform to the EDU Ultimate with Orin NX, Mid-360 and three depth cameras.
The Unitree Go2 is the most accessible quadruped Unitree makes — about 15 kg, with a 3D LiDAR, an SDK on the EDU builds and a price that puts a real legged robot inside a teaching budget. The Go2-W runs the same platform

“STEM is not a subject. It is a way of thinking. A student who programs a robot learns sequencing, debugging, cause-and-effect, and persistence. Those skills transfer to every subject and every career. The robot is just the vehicle. The destination is a student who knows how to solve problems.”
Saint Leo University deployed a complete RobotLAB AI Lab for its bachelor's program in robotics and AI. Multi-station setup with humanoids, autonomous systems, and Industry 4.0 platforms. Dr. Derek Mohammad, Dean of the School of Computing: 'Equipped with robots of all kinds and computers, the lab will provide students with the hands-on experience they need to prepare for careers in this high-demand and growing field.'

Practical answers for K-12 districts, universities, and research labs evaluating robotics for STEM teaching and study. Below we cover what the robots teach, how labs get set up and funded, and how to bring a platform in for a demo.
It depends on the level. For programming, AI, and human-robot interaction, humanoid platforms like the SoftBank NAO Research Robot and Pepper Academic Edition are widely used in classrooms and labs. For higher-ed research in mobility, autonomy, and ROS development, mobile bases like the AgileX Tracer and the Unitree Go 2 quadruped are common; for hands-on robotic-arm and automation work, Dobot arms are a frequent K-12 and college choice.
Cost varies widely with the platform mix and class size, from a few thousand dollars for a starter set of arms or coding kits to tens of thousands for a research-grade lab built around humanoids or autonomous mobile robots. Because configurations differ so much, the honest answer is to request a quote for the specific platforms and student count you have in mind, and we can build it around your budget.
Depending on the platform, students write code (often Python, Blockly, or ROS), program motion and sensing, and build projects in AI, computer vision, speech interaction, autonomous navigation, and robotic manipulation. Humanoids like NAO and Pepper are used for human-robot interaction and social-robotics work, while mobile bases like the AgileX Tracer and Unitree Go 2 support autonomy, mapping, and controls research.
Yes. Platforms like the AgileX Tracer research base and the Unitree Go 2 Professional Grade quadruped are built for research and are used at universities for work in autonomy, locomotion, and ROS-based development. The AgileX Tracer AGV, for example, is trusted by research programs at institutions like Georgia Tech.
The robots support coding, AI, robotics, and engineering instruction that maps to common STEM and computer-science frameworks, and partners like Firia Labs provide structured coding curriculum aligned to classroom standards. We can help match a platform to your grade band and learning objectives so the hardware fits the course you are already teaching.
Many schools fund robotics labs through STEM, CTE, Title, ESSER successor programs, or private and foundation grants, and robotics platforms are typically eligible classroom-technology expenses. We can provide quotes, spec sheets, and product detail that support grant applications and purchasing approval; ask us for documentation tailored to the funding source you are pursuing.
No. Most platforms are designed for educators who are new to robotics, with visual or block-based programming options for younger students and structured lessons for more advanced work. RobotLAB also offers training so your staff can teach confidently from day one rather than learning the hardware alone.
NAO is a smaller programmable humanoid commonly used for coding, AI, and human-robot interaction projects on the desktop or table, and accessories like the NAO storage and transport case make it easy to move between classrooms. Pepper is a larger, mobile humanoid with a chest screen, used in higher-ed and research for social robotics, customer-interaction studies, and more advanced HRI work; the Pepper Academic Edition and dedicated Pepper transport cases are aimed at education and research use.
They are programmable. The Unitree Go 2 quadruped and AgileX mobile bases like the Tracer are open development platforms students and researchers program themselves, typically through ROS and Python, to build autonomy, perception, and controls projects. They are research and education tools, not closed appliances.
Robots used daily by students need upkeep, so RobotLAB offers a Robot Maintenance Service to keep platforms calibrated, updated, and repaired so lab time is not lost to downtime. This matters most for shared, high-use humanoids and mobile robots that move between classes; ask us what a service plan looks like for your specific fleet.
RobotLAB carries platforms from many manufacturers, including Dobot, AgileX, Unitree, SoftBank, and Firia, so you can build one coherent lab from a single source rather than juggling vendors. You also get curriculum guidance, teacher training, nationwide service, and help aligning hardware to your grade level, learning goals, and budget instead of buying robots that sit on a shelf.
Tell us your grade level or research focus, rough class size, and budget, and we will recommend a platform mix and put together a quote, demo, or ROI and outcomes model for your program. To get started, use the form on this page or call 1-87-RobotLAB.
