Marty the Robot V2 — Programmable Walking & Dancing STEM Educational Robot for Coding, Education & Fun
Marty the Robot V2 is a fully programmable humanoid robot that brings STEM learning and creativity to life — ideal for classrooms, makerspaces, and homes. With Marty, coding and robotics becomes fun, hands‑on, and accessible to learners of all ages and skill levels. From block‑based Scratch coding to professional‑level Python and ROS, Marty grows with the user.
Marty walks, dances, sidesteps, turns, kicks a ball — even wiggles its eyebrows — thanks to its unique leg design and 9 high‑quality metal‑geared servo motors. Equipped with multiple sensors (position, tilt, proximity, color, obstacle/IR), Marty can “feel” its environment, respond to input, shake hands, avoid obstacles, and interact using sound via a built-in speaker. It supports “screen‑free” coding for younger learners, transitioning smoothly to block‑based and advanced text‑based programming as skills develop.
What truly sets Marty apart is its expandability. You can add extra sensors (light, noise, temperature, etc.), a camera, or integrate with hardware add-ons like Raspberry Pi or micro:bit. For tech‑savy learners, this opens up opportunities to build autonomous robots — for instance, coding Marty to play football or respond to its surroundings in real time.
Included with Marty V2 is a rechargeable battery (2–3 hours run time per full charge), USB charging cable, and access to a rich, freely accessible online learning portal filled with lesson plans, programming tutorials, and projects. Whether used by curious kids, hobbyists, educators, or future engineers, Marty makes learning robotics an engaging, creative, and deeply rewarding experience.
Perfect as a gift (birthday, holiday, graduation) — Marty inspires creativity, sharpens computational thinking, and makes learning robotics truly fun.
