Prenten AI · Pathfinders

Industrial-grade robotics STEM for schools.

Pathfinders moves students from classroom kits to programming a commercial-class quadruped, with an AI-powered platform, live sensor data and supervised real-world missions.

What makes us different

Most school robotics stops at a toy. Pathfinders does not.

Toy robot kits are a useful first contact with code. Pathfinders is where students graduate to a machine designed for the real world.

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

Commercial robotics, made school-ready.

A term-length pathway combining supervised hardware, simulation, live data, safety controls and expert delivery.

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 real-world brief, refine it under engineer guidance and present a data-backed outcome.

The programme

Mission by mission. From first contact to showcase.

Students learn the vessel, build the logic and deploy their work into a supervised real-world 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 code survive balance, terrain, sensors and real-world noise.

Stage 04

Refine and test

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

Stage 05

Deploy the brief

Run the mission in a supervised school-grounds or partner scenario.

Stage 06

Present the outcome

Defend the brief, method and result at a school-community showcase.

Challenge tracks

Three ways to aim the same Physical AI skills.

Each track gives teams a real-world context for coding, sensor capture and evidence-based recommendations.

The platform

Everything needed to make commercial robotics school-ready.

Hardware

Unitree AS2 EDU

A commercial-class 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

Real-world evidence

Capture sensor data for site, sport and sustainability challenge tracks.

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

Data-backed outcome

Students present their brief, method, results and recommendation.

Delivery model

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

School context and dedicated robotics expertise work together, with supervised access to commercial-grade hardware.

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 AI 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.
