About
Root Robotics was an educational robotics company that developed the Root coding robot, designed to teach programming concepts to children of all ages through hands-on play. Founded as a spinout from Harvard's Wyss Institute, Root Robotics created a flattish, hexagonal robot featuring downward-facing scanners, magnetic wheels, touch-reactive panels, lights, motion sensors, and a pen-grabbing hole, making it usable on whiteboards, floors, and paper. The company's curriculum and robot supported K-12 students in learning coding skills through Creative Coding programs. Root Robotics was acquired by iRobot in June 2019 to expand iRobot's STEM educational offerings.
