SpikerBot

Build a brain. Create a creature.

SpikerBot is a no-code robot kit powered by a spiking neural network you wire yourself. Connect sensors, motors, sounds, and real biology, then watch behavior emerge in real time.

What is SpikerBot?

A hands-on brain for a robot you can teach.

Most robots follow code. SpikerBot follows a brain you build. Wire neurons, route sensory inputs, shape motor outputs, and turn neuroscience into something that moves across the table.

No code, just biology

Teach behavior by wiring spikes, thresholds, sensors, and outputs instead of writing scripts.

Make a creature

Add eyes, ears, whiskers, shells, tails, wheels, lights, or whatever your experiment needs.

Real signals welcome

Bring muscle, heart, or EEG signals into the brain with Backyard Brains gear.

Get the app

Use SpikerBot on the web, Windows, Android, or Mac.

The web app, Microsoft Store app, Google Play app, and Mac App Store app are available now. The iOS App Store release is still in review.

Robot kit

Pre-order the SpikerBot robot.

The app is the front door. The robot is the part that rolls, listens, senses, speaks, and turns your virtual brain into behavior.

FAQ

A few quick answers.

Do I need to write code?

No. You build behavior by wiring a spiking neural network in the app.

Can I use the app without the robot?

Yes. Use the web app or install SpikerBot from the Microsoft Store, Google Play, or Mac App Store. The iOS App Store release is still in review.
