Thymio II robot: welcome to the world of robotics
The Thymio II mobile robot is a robotics platform used for teaching a visual programming language (VPL).
It has numerous pre-programmed behaviours allowing children to discover what it’s capable of and have fun, while also offering a fully open-source programming environment based on the Aseba VPL allowing budding robotics engineers to create their first programs.
