The MBot Ecosystem is a versatile family of educational robotics platforms created by the Robotics Department at the University of Michigan. Since its launch in 2014, MBot has become a cornerstone of hands-on robotics education at Michigan. Hundreds of MBots have been built and used to teach a wide variety of courses across both undergraduate and graduate levels, helping students explore core concepts in robotics, programming, control systems, and artificial intelligence.
Designed to be modular, accessible, and adaptable, the MBot platform empowers students to experiment, innovate, and gain real-world engineering experience. Over the years, the MBot Ecosystem has grown through continual collaboration between faculty, staff, and students, ensuring it evolves to meet the changing needs of robotics education.
