Socibot-Mini is a more compact robot. The on-board sensors and hardware are identical to the larger SociBot, however they have been given a more compact shell, without a stand or an in-built touchscreen. This robot is perfect for desktop operation, for example in a lab or office environment. More access ports have been added, to allow you to connect your own hardware and interface devices.

SociBot User Documentation

Model Variations

Although most of their software and functionality is the same, there are some differences between SociBot versions.

Version specific information can be found under separate subheadings. Unless otherwise noted, the guides in this wiki are applicable to all SociBot versions.

  • Socibot Kiosk
  • Socibot Desktop

SociBot Kiosk

Socibot full-sized kiosk installation

The full-size Socibot kiosk installation is primarily suitable for tasks such as information delivery in public venues, or anywhere requiring non-expert human interaction, such as schools or reception areas. It comes with a touchscreen embedded on a front-facing kiosk, has (non-functional) arms to enhance its human-like appearance, and a 1.2m base which serves to raise the robot to eye level.


Socibot-mini desktop robot

SociBot Desktop

Socibot-Mini is a more compact robot. The on-board sensors and hardware are identical to the larger SociBot, however they have been given a more compact shell, without a stand or an in-built touchscreen. This robot is perfect for desktop operation, for example in a lab or office environment. More access ports have been added, to allow you to connect your own hardware and interface devices.


Where necessary, robot-specific information can be found under separate subheadings in the main links menu to the left; however unless otherwise noted, the guides in this wiki are pertinent for both SociBot and SociBot-Mini.
