A Bug That Reacts to Light—and a Child Who Lights Up With Discovery!
Turn light into motion, curiosity into discovery, and bugs into robots!
Meet Lumobug—a bio-inspired DIY robotics kit that turns light into motion and play into learning. Designed for kids aged 8–14, Lumobug is both a toy and a real science experiment, teaching kids how sensors and motors work together through fun, bug-like behaviors. Whether your child builds it for a school project or weekend adventure, Lumobug is a brilliant introduction to the science of robotics.
How it works?
Kids build Lumobug from scratch using laser-cut wooden panels, motors, and light sensors. Once assembled, they can switch between two modes: Light Chaser (follows light beams) and Light Avoider (scurries away). The light sensors detect brightness, and the robot moves accordingly—just like a bug reacting to its environment.
Why it’s awesome?
Two intelligent behavior modes: Light Chaser & Light Avoider
Inspired by real insects and powered by simple sensor logic
Kids build the entire robot themselves with safe, pre-cut parts
BIS certified, no soldering required, and completely safe for children
Eco-friendly materials and completely screen-free fun
