OUR Story

​Ohbot has been created by Mat Walker, a roboticist who created the Inkha robot receptionist at King’s College, London and Dan Warner, a primary teacher and ICT specialist who advises schools and local authorities on educational technology for learning.

Ohbot is already being used by over seven thousand schools and individuals in the UK and around the world, it was a finalist in the London BETT awards for ICT Innovator of the year in 2016 and Hardware, AV, VR/AR, Robotics or Digital Device in 2022.  Ohbot also won a British Educational Suppliers Association ERA award in 2018 and was highly commended in 2022.

Ohbot is manufactured in the UK at Halliday's Mill in Gloucestershire.
