Smart factory: eXperiBot learning robot with teaching material

eXperiBot Smart Factory

In eXperiBot Smart Factory four cooperative educational robots bring the real world into the classroom. A real factory was used as a model for developing the scenario. 

Once the eXperiBot Smart Team (Art. No. 72631) is released, the Smart Factory will be included as one of three scenarios. If you purchase the eXperiBot Smart Factory now, it will be supplemented by the scenarios included in the eXperiBot Smart Team - Smart Recycling and Smart Farm - free of charge. 

The didactic materials for teachers and students include a short introductory comic and worksheets suitable for use from grade 5 onwards. The Pusher, Gripper, Conveyor, and Sorter provide four individual stations for work in different learning groups and at various learning levels. The Smart Factory operates effectively when all the educational robots interact with one another, fostering a spirit of teamwork!

The educational robots use multi-sensor technology to navigate the game board by following printed lines and colours. Additionally, the cartoon character Arianna offers your students tips and tricks to help everyone learn programming.

The eXperiBot learning robot impresses with its simplicity, step-by-step logic and reduction to the essentials for ideal classroom use and is entirely "Made by Cornelsen".

2024 eXperiBot Smart Factory has been awarded the prestigious Comenius EduMedia Seal.

2022 eXperiBot learning robot was nominated for the Best European Learning Materials Award (BELMA).

The pusher’s job is to move packages from the pick-up area of the game board to the gripper arm. To do so, the pusher must move back and forth along its predetermined path. The basic elements of the motion comprise following the line and reversing direction at the end of the line.


The gripper arm’s job is to take the packages sent by the pusher and lift them onto the conveyor. This requires the programming of a series of movements with servomotors (twister, grabber and pivot.


The sorter receives packages from the conveyor, which it must then transport to the right discharge area depending on the colour. To do so, it must first correctly identify the line, in order to remain on its predetermined path. At the same time, it must also obtain information about the section of the path where it is currently located, in order to determine the correct position to “discharge” the cargo.


The basic task of the conveyor in combination with the factory devices is to transport a package to the sorting robot.
In the learning loop, the students are instructed to equip the conveyor with a sorting function.
