Robotics Education

Courses on real humanoids and robot dogs, plus our own robot-dog kit — built from the same work we do for clients.

  • For universities

    Semester-long modules, lab setups and teacher training. We help you build a robotics lab students actually use.

  • For companies

    Private, on-site or online workshops that get your engineers productive on your robot in days, not months.

  • For individuals

    Small cohorts in Astana with real robot time. Learn from engineers who program these robots every day.

Courses

Learn on Real Robots

Every course pairs simulation with time on real hardware, taught by engineers who build software for these robots.

Applied Humanoid Robotics

Sim, Sensors & Motion

Kazakhstan's first humanoid robotics course with real access to a Unitree G1. Each topic is worked through in MuJoCo simulation, then run on the real robot in our Astana lab — taught by engineers who program the G1 every day.

  • Sim-to-real: MuJoCo first, then the physical G1
  • LiDAR, RGB-D cameras and IMU — sensors and SLAM
  • Dexterous hand control with computer vision
  • Real tasks on the robot, like object sorting

Questions About Training

  • Mostly humanoids and quadrupeds: Unitree G1, Go2 and B2W, Agibot A2 and X2, and similar platforms. We also build applications for service robots such as OrionStar. If your robot has an open SDK or ROS 2 interface, we can usually work with it — ask us.

  • Yes. We work in English, Russian and Kazakh and collaborate remotely with teams in other time zones. Simulation-first development means most of the work does not need the robot to be in the same room.

  • Yes. Every project ends with a handover session, and we run dedicated courses and workshops — from ROS 2 basics to reinforcement learning and VLA models — on-site or online. See the Education page for the catalog.
