App overview
The Robot Inventor application is the official companion for the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor set, available for iPhone. Developed by the LEGO System group, the app helps you assemble and manage programmable, mobile robots using the physical build kit.
Quick setup
The app is packaged to work with the Robot Inventor set — once you have the kit, you can begin constructing right away. It guides you step-by-step through assembly so you can move from box to working robot in minutes.
What you can do with it
- Control robots that interact with real-world environments and carry out original tasks.
- Program custom behaviors and create interactive stories or challenges.
- Combine physical building with digital instructions to prototype mobile robots quickly.
How the coding experience works
- Use the app to write code and experiment with logic and sensors.
- Design robot configurations and map out sequences visually.
- Test and refine programs iteratively to improve performance and reliability.
Educational advantages
Coding with the Robot Inventor system is an engaging, hands-on way to learn. The experience encourages creative experimentation and builds abilities such as logical reasoning and problem solving while keeping the process lively and motivating.
Included activities and customization
The app contains more than 50 guided exercises that introduce core programming ideas and basic physics concepts. In addition to the prebuilt lessons, you can author your own challenges or script original adventures for your robots.
