Prenten Robotics, Pathfinders

Robotics for schools, on a commercial quadruped.

Pathfinders takes students from classroom kits to programming a commercial quadruped, with simulation, live sensor data and supervised missions.

What makes us different

Pathfinders uses a machine built for work outside the classroom.

Classroom kits are a fair place to start with code. Pathfinders is the next step: a quadruped designed for real terrain, real sensors and a real brief.

Typical school robotics

Build a classroom robot

  • Hardware designed only for the classroom
  • Logic that rarely leaves the desk
  • Little contact with industrial constraints
  • Limited live sensor data
Prenten Pathfinders

Program a commercial machine

  • A platform used in industry, brought into the school
  • Live sensor data: balance, terrain and noise
  • A brief set in the real world
  • A showcase built on the data the robot collected
Prenten Pathfinders

Commercial robotics, prepared for a school.

A pathway across a term: supervised hardware, simulation, live data, safety controls and delivery by our engineers.

The vessel

Unitree AS2 EDU

An education and developer configuration of a commercial quadruped, brought on site for supervised live sessions.

The platform

Simulation and live data

Students practise on school devices, then test code against real sensors, locomotion, terrain and noise.

The pathway

Mission to showcase

Teams develop a brief from a real setting, refine it with an engineer, and present a result backed by the data.

The programme

From first contact to the showcase.

Students learn the robot, build the logic, and run the work in a supervised brief.

Stage 01

Meet the robot

Safety induction and first contact, before students write a line of code.

Stage 02

Find the mission

Choose a challenge and build the first logic in simulation.

Stage 03

Master the hardware

Make the code survive balance, terrain, sensors and noise from a real site.

Stage 04

Refine and test

Capture data, debug behaviour and harden the mission under engineer guidance.

Stage 05

Run the brief

Run the mission under supervision, on school grounds or with a partner.

Stage 06

Present the outcome

Present the brief, the method and the result to the school community.

Challenge tracks

Three briefs, the same robotics skills.

Each track gives teams a real setting for coding, sensor capture and a recommendation they can defend with evidence.

The platform

What a school needs to run a commercial robot safely.

Hardware

Unitree AS2 EDU

A commercial quadruped on site for supervised live sessions.

Simulation

Practice between sessions

Guided challenges let students test programs on school devices before live runs.

Live data

Evidence from the robot

Capture sensor data for site, sport and sustainability briefs.

Safety

Controlled live runs

Induction, geofencing, emergency stop and engineering supervision.

Expert delivery

Educator and engineer

Prenten supports the robot, troubleshooting and technical handover.

Showcase

A result they can show

Students present the brief, the method, the results and a recommendation.

Delivery model

The teacher leads the room. Prenten Robotics runs the robot.

The school keeps the learning. Prenten Robotics brings the robot, the supervision and the engineering support.

The school role

Lead the learning

  • Own student welfare, session context and links to school subjects
  • Connect coding and data to forces, motion and physics
  • Manage facilities and classroom continuity
The Prenten Robotics role

Operate the AS2 EDU

  • Run the robot, troubleshoot and support each live session
  • Extend practice through simulation challenges and dashboards
  • Control safety through geofencing, emergency stop and engineering supervision

Safety first. Every live run is supervised and remains under Prenten engineering control.
