Thymio

Thymio has over 20 sensors and 40 lights and integrates with third party languages such as MIT's Scratch.

One of the unique features of these robots is its design, production, and commercialization by a full open-source and non-profit chain of actors.

The design has been mainly made by universities (EPFL,[2] écal[3] and ETHZ[4]) within research programs (NCCR Robotics[5]).

In the evaluation, a group of teacher-evaluators in Switzerland assessed Thymio's curriculum alignment, pedagogy, and usability through using a science-based product evaluation method, developed by Education Alliance Finland and Finnish educational researchers.

Since August 18, 2017, the Thymio II robot is used in various international online contest on Robotbenchmark.
