Ozobot is the world’s smallest smart robot that plays on both physical and digital platforms. Ozobot has an intelligent ability to follow, recognize and react to multiple codes on both physical and digital paths and can communicate through color light sequence feedback.
Ozobot Aims to Intrigue, Challenge and Entertain.
Ozobot is the intelligent robot revolutionizing digital gaming. Through its patent pending technology, Ozobot can recognize over 1000 different instructions, reading different line and light colors on boards, paper and digital tablet screens. With four free app games available for download on iOS and Android at launch, Ozobot aims to intrigue, challenge and entertain its owners and bring back the fun to “game night.”
Ozobot is the world's smallest line-following robot measuring slightly over 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter and height. It can follow lines not only on non-light-emitting physical surfaces but also on digital screens such as tablet devices. Moreover, Ozobot automatically detects whether it is driving on a physical or a digital surface and is capable to seamlessly transition between one and the other.

Ozobot, a game-playing robot, wants you to get physical with digital games — and it could be on to something.
According to a recent study by the Entertainment Software Association, more than half (58%) of all Americans play video games, which may lead some to believe that fewer people are playing physical board games. On the other hand, the same study says 34% of online gamers play puzzles, board games, game shows, trivia and card games, which suggests many still yearn for some old-school gaming.
These findings could help explain the motivation to develop a product like Ozobot. It’s a tiny, one-inch-tall robot designed to work on top of tablet and smartphone screens, as well on as paper. What's more, it will follow both digital and physical lines that players draw on the fly, and can even reportedly tell the difference between a digital and physical surface.
“We set out to breathe new life into game night –- that experience which, as an individual or as a group of friends –- has become a bit tired and repetitive between board and video games,” said Nader Hamda, CEO of Ozobot.
