Stage 1 · Beginner

Foundations & Fun

Get hands-on fast. Across NAVI and the FX Aegis quadruped, build the foundations through playful, demo-able modules — from your first blocks to a full showcase.

  • NAVI + FX Aegis
  • 4 Levels
  • 8 Themes
  • Beginner
➊  Drive a real robot from blocks
➋   Read sensors and make it react
➌   Tell apart what AI can and can’t do
➍   Build and perform a showcase
NAVI robot dog

Levels in this stage

How the stage is staged — each level builds on the one before it.

L1

Meet NAVI

First blocks and first motions — wave, walk, turn, and your first “if”.

● Drag-blocks ● First motions ● Your first “if” ● Build & power-on ● Remote control

L2

Sensors & logic

Read distance and touch, add loops and conditionals, and explore animal gaits.

● Distance & touch ● Loops & if ● Animal gaits ● Obstacle stop ● Live readings

L3

Design & build

Compose multi-step routines and give NAVI a look of its own with the design modules.

● Multi-step routines ● Sound + motion ● Expressions ● Clay & cape styling ● Custom look

L4

Perception & voice

Camera and voice basics, honest AI literacy, and a first robotic-arm reach.

● Camera basics ● Object / person detect ● AI literacy ● Voice & TTS ● First arm reach

What You'll Build

Organized by theme — and how challenging each one gets.

Mechanics & Kinematics

Easy

Why does a robot dog walk? Kids find out by wiggling its legs themselves — then grow from curious tinkerers into designing how it struts and trots.

Electronics

Easy

Pop the hood! Trace where power and signals flow, then go from spotting wires to reading and blending the robot's real senses.

Design & Modeling

Easy

Ears, colors, a cape — make the pup truly yours, then level up from decorating to modeling and 3D-printing parts of your own.

Programming & Architecture

Easy → moderate

It begins with one block: walk! From there kids stack logic and reactions until they're writing real programs that think for themselves.

Motion & Control

Easy → moderate

Strut like a cat, hop like a frog — then peek behind the magic at how motion really works, and invent moves no one's seen before.

Peripherals & End-effectors

Easy

Drag-and-drop Blockly blocks teach the logic of code — no typing and no prior experience needed.

AI & Perception

Easy → moderate

Can it really “see” you? Kids put AI to the test, teach it faces and objects, and end up chatting, navigating and running errands together.

Capstone

Moderate

The grand finale: everything clicks into one project — your very own smart robot buddy, ready to show the whole family.

Meet the hardware

The products behind the curriculum — and the add-ons that extend each one.

NAVI

Learn by Building, Grow by Creating

A real, physical robot dog — code becomes motion, and each add-on unlocks new lessons.

● Main frame   ● 4 leg joints   ● Dog-head system   ● Sensor layout   ● Charging port

A real robot, not a simulation

Code becomes motion on real hardware.

Grows with the curriculum

Each add-on unlocks new lessons.

Design modules built-in

A design unit where art meets engineering.

Projects, not tests

Every level ends with a real challenge.

Extend NAVI, Unlock New Lessons

Each accessory opens a new chapter of the curriculum.

Microphone + Speaker

Gives NAVI ears and a voice — unlocks voice-interaction lessons.

Expression Screen

Code NAVI's emotions — unlocks emotion-design lessons.

Robotic Arm

Grasp real objects — unlocks manipulation & IK lessons.

Style Expansion Pack

3D shells + FF Store accessories for the customization curriculum.

Charging Dock

Auto-return + auto-charge — unlocks autonomous navigation.

Custom Sensors

Temperature, light, gas, pressure — your imagination becomes the next lesson.
