STAIR Lab

Software Testing AI Robotics Learning Lab


The STAIR-Lab provides a platform for learning, offering educational material, hands-on workshops, and interactive simulation environments. Here we show the University of Innsbruck further efforts to bring robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and software testing into schools.

The STAIR-Lab provides a platform for learning, offering educational material, hands-on workshops, and interactive simulation environments designed specifically for the Sphero Bolt and our MiniBot. It serves as a gateway for students to explore the fundamentals of robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and software development in a practical and engaging way. Through our activities, we aim to make complex technological concepts accessible to learners of all ages. In collaboration with schools, we bring research and tools from the University of Innsbruck directly into classrooms. These outreach efforts reflect our ongoing commitment to promoting digital literacy and inspiring curiosity in STEAM fields. We are part of the INNALPFFG project.
