Nous AI is a modular educational robot with artificial intelligence designed to make AI learning accessible in primary and secondary schools. It supports various AI technologies and functions, from model creation and data collection to deployment.
Ideal for children aged 12+
Modular durable metal construction allows easy customization and expansion using electronic modules or building blocks. This helps develop not only programming skills but also engineering thinking.
Nous AI helps students understand real-world AI applications and fosters creativity in designing their own projects. The robot features computer vision, speech and voice processing, and autonomous navigation, allowing students to train AI models, collect real data, and see their solutions come to life.
Nous AI recognizes AprilTags, colors, numbers, can sort animals, and detect human faces and objects – enabling rich, interactive experiments in visual analysis and pattern recognition.
From the first screw to custom AI models
It all starts with building: detailed instructions and a modular design allow children to easily assemble their own robot and learn the basics of mechanics, electronics, and robotics. This phase is not just about putting pieces together – it lays the foundation for understanding how real systems work and fosters curiosity and confidence.
Once the robot is assembled, children begin block-based programming, which makes complex concepts intuitive and fun through visual logic. They are guided by tutorials and challenges on the Nous.MatataStudio platform – a free online hub with clear lessons, creative projects, and AI-driven tasks. Whether using the web interface or app, students can program their robot anytime, anywhere without complicated setup.
As skills develop, students naturally transition to Python programming, opening a more advanced level of creativity and control. It’s no longer just issuing commands – children design intelligent behaviors, train AI models, experiment with real scenarios, and create data-driven responses.
Nous AI is not just a robot; it is a platform that evolves with the user. Children grow not only technically but also in problem-solving, creativity, and independent thinking.
-
Block-based programming
Beginners can program easily using blocks, which helps them understand which commands can or cannot be combined because the system shows it immediately. -
Python text programming
More advanced students can write their own code in Python.
Advanced functions and programmable sensors
The Nous AI robot is controlled by the Nous Hub, which manages all functions and allows interaction with connected modules. Thanks to this “brain,” the robot can perform various AI-related tasks.
Additionally, Nous AI is equipped with a programmable touchscreen, a camera for machine vision, object recognition, and autonomous navigation, and a microphone that enables voice and sound recognition. The app also allows programming two servos, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a ToF (Time of Flight) sensor for obstacle detection and navigation assistance.

Connectivity
Nous AI is equipped with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, which enables internet connection and the use of cloud-based machine learning services, as well as access to remote AI tools and platforms, such as content-generating models (AIGC) or language models like ChatGPT.
Discover the future of creative learning
The Nous AI robot combines the latest artificial intelligence technologies in one compact and easily accessible device. It allows students to explore and understand the entire AI development process – from data collection and model training to real-world deployment – through practical and engaging activities.
Through spoken language interaction, students can create systems that respond to verbal commands, reinforcing human-computer interaction principles.
Built-in machine learning tools guide students in creating their own AI models and support a deep understanding of classification, prediction, and data labeling.
MatataChat integration allows real-time use of conversational AI applications, bringing generative AI and natural language processing into learning.
Using face recognition, AIGC functions, and creative content generation, students not only understand how AI works but also learn to shape, question, and use it as an innovation tool.
Autonomous driving functions demonstrate core principles of self-driving vehicle technology, allowing programming of the robot to react to its surroundings and make decisions while moving.
By combining practical engineering, computational thinking, and creative play, Nous AI offers a unique all-in-one platform to fully explore the potential of AI.
