Common questions

Questions we get asked.

Who is SwayForm designed for?
Schools — including, but not limited to, middle schools and high schools. That means middle school STEM and technology classes, high school engineering programs, community college robotics courses, student clubs, STEM labs, and any educational setting where students can work with real hardware regularly. It is not a consumer product.
Does one robot support a whole class?
Yes. One unit is designed for teams of up to 15 students using rotating engineering roles, or a classroom where groups take turns. Programs can add more units later when they are ready to scale.
What background do instructors need?
No prior ROS 2 or humanoid-robotics experience is required. Basic computer familiarity is recommended — the Learning Portal guides instructors and students through setup, programming, testing, debugging, safety, and repair.
Does it need Wi-Fi?
Yes — S1 connects to your school's Wi-Fi like any other device, a simple one-time setup. That connection is used for the hosted Learning Portal, classroom accounts, the code queue, live video, and updates.
Does S1 run on battery?
No. S1 has no internal battery — it runs plugged into standard wall power at all times, so there's no charging downtime or battery to replace.
How much does S1 cost?
S1 is $6,999.99 per unit, with no hidden fees. Commercial availability is targeted for Fall 2027.
What comes with the unit?
S1 with Linux, ROS 2, and five demo programs pre-installed, plus free access to the Learning Portal. Currently in pilot development — commercial availability targeted for Fall 2027.
What does the cloud subscription cost?
$12 per month or $100 per year, and the first year is free with every purchase. It covers hosted classroom accounts, the code queue that sends student programs to the robot, and live video of robot runs. Contact sales for institutional terms.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. The price you're quoted for S1 is the price you pay — no undisclosed add-ons or surprise charges.
Is SwayForm available to order now?
Pilot interest is currently open. Commercial availability is targeted for Fall 2027. Contact our sales team and we will keep you updated on timing.
Can the labs fit into an existing course?
Yes. Begin with the 10 available Level 1 labs, with the curriculum expanding to around 100 across four levels. Programs can use selected labs as part of an existing syllabus or follow the full path in order. Two tracks are planned — a Middle School track and a High School track — at different difficulty levels, sharing overlapping features and skills and connecting together at the end of the path.
What happens if a component breaks?
SwayForm combines commercially available electronics and actuators with custom, replaceable 3D-printed structural parts. Every individual printed part is priced below $20, and the Learning Portal includes a full repair guide.
Why this matters

Robotics is changing the world.
Most students only get to watch.

Students hear about AI and robotics constantly — but most never get to build, program, troubleshoot, and understand a real robotic system before college.

01

Learn it

Programming, electronics, and robotics concepts.

→
02

See it

Code produces real, physical behavior.

→
03

Understand it

Debug, modify, and build complete systems.

This is the gap SwayForm was built to close.

What schools receive

One robot. A free curriculum. A clear upgrade path.

01

The SwayForm robot

21-DOF humanoid running Linux and ROS 2 on an onboard Raspberry Pi — assembled and tested before it ships. $6,999.99 per unit, no hidden fees.

02

The free Learning Portal

Free to access, forever. Setup, safety, and repair guides, plus 10 structured labs today — expanding to around 100.

03

The cloud subscription

$12 per month or $100 per year, with the first year free on every purchase. Hosted classroom accounts, the code queue that sends student programs to the robot, and live video of every run.

What I cannot create, I do not understand.
Richard Feynman

Students understand robotics on a deeper level when their code moves real hardware. Rather than only observing concepts on a screen, students must transform their designs into a working system — revealing both the strengths and limitations of their understanding.

What students can create

Real programs, ready to rebuild.

Not demos to watch — starter code every student inspects, modifies, and makes their own.

Run the demo → Watch S1 respond → Open the source code → Modify the behavior → Build your own version
01

Wave

S1 says hello with a timed servo sequence — then students change one number to make it wave five times. The first demo students run, and the first code they modify.

Start here
02

Handshake

S1 reaches forward, grips, and gives a short shake before returning to center — then students decide how many times it should shake.

Tunable count
03

Fist Bump

S1 raises its arm, curls into a fist, and punches forward — flip one switch and it nods its head along with the punch.

Boolean flags
04

Finger Count

S1 raises a closed fist, then holds up however many fingers a student’s code tells it to.

Tunable variables
05

Target Lock

The final challenge: put five steps in the right order, then drive S1 live from the keyboard to grab an object and lift it.
