Like the Python SDK, Code Lab gives you easy, direct access to Cozmo’s advanced robotics and artificial intelligence (AI). The primary difference is that rather than having to learn the ins and outs of a text-based programming language, e.g., its syntax, you can simply drag and drop blocks around an intuitive touch interface. It really is that simple.
Download apps by Anki, including Anki OVERDRIVE, Cozmo, Anki OVERDRIVE: Fast & Furious, and many more. Take your Cozmo to whole new level with the Cozmo SDK (aka. Software development kit). By combining the advanced robotic hardware with an easy-to-use programming language, you will unlock a world of possibilities. Anki App is a cross-platform mobile and desktop flashcard app. Study flashcards in your downtime. Make flashcards with text, sound, and images, or download pre-made ones. Studying is extra-efficient, thanks to our unique algorithm. Cozmo can explore on his own and entertain you, play games with you (he is good!) or you can 'drive' Cozmo around and view what he 'sees'. Comes with his own charger and 3 cubes that he plays games with. The cubes are battery operated and connect via wi-fi to Cozmo automatically.

To get started using Code Lab, all you’ll need is a Cozmo robot and compatible mobile device. Just make sure you’ve updated to the latest version of the free mobile app to ensure that you have all of Code Lab’s latest features. Though not necessary, we recommend using a tablet over a mobile phone if possible as the increased screen real estate lets you see more code blocks at once.
Below is a list of helpful information and resources to help you get started using Code Lab. We encourage you to use it in as many ways possible—after all, Code Lab’s versatility is one its best features.

General Information
What is Code Lab?
Code Lab is a graphical programming interface for Cozmo based on Scratch Blocks, a collaboration between Google and the MIT Scratch Team.
What can I do with it?
There’s so much that can be done with Code Lab, from creating new mini-games and activities to using Cozmo as an expressive robot actor in original short films. Be sure to check out the various sample projects included in the app for ideas and inspiration.
Can Code Lab be used in STEM education?
Absolutely. Better yet, not only can Cozmo be used to teach STEM education, many educators have already found him to be an exceptional educational tool due to his innovative hardware, expressive animations, and charming personality—all of which can lead to higher engagement from students. But you don’t have to take our word for it:
- Smithsonian recently declared Cozmo as its “Best STEM Toy Overall” for 2017, saying that “…Cozmo wins for fun—while also effectively teaching coding principles and problem solving.”
iD Tech, the world’s largest summer tech camp, is offering two Cozmo-based courses in over 60 locations around the world to teach students about robotics, AI, and programming.
Have a Cozmo at home and want to use him with your children in a more informal setting? See how one family created a “Cozmo Code Lab Maze Challenge” STEM activity with only some tape and a whiteboard.
Using Code Lab
What’s the difference between Sandbox Mode and Constructor Mode?
There are quite a few differences between the two modes, but one notable difference is that Sandbox Mode is primarily icon-based, while Constructor Mode uses blocks that utilize more sophisticated programming features including variables, functions, and math operators.
- Tip: Are you or your students ready to take the next step from Sandbox Mode? Try recreating a Sandbox Mode project in Constructor Mode as an extra challenge.

Anki Cozmo App Windows
Is there anywhere to see a list of all the Constructor Mode blocks?
There is a full block glossary contained inside Code Lab. To access it, simply tap the book icon found in the top-left portion of the screen while inside a Code Lab project. Alternatively, you can view the glossary in the official Code Lab forum as well.
- Tip: For those times you don’t have Cozmo with you, you can use the online block glossary in the forums to plan projects and lessons in advance.
Anki Cozmo Apple
What is a Remix?
When you modify an existing Code Lab project, it is called a Remix. Remixing a project is a great way to use existing code as a foundation for your own. You can customize a project to your liking, add entirely new features to it, or even use the project as a piece to a larger, more sophisticated one.
- Tip: Try adjusting some of the values / blocks in the included sample programs and Featured Projects in the app, and make note of how it changes the experience. How might you make it even better?
Anki Cozmo App Download
Where can I discuss / get help for / show off my Code Lab projects?
The official Code Lab forum is the best place to connect with other users, as well as members of the Code Lab team. If you’ve made a project you’re particularly proud of, submit it to us to potentially have it featured in the official Cozmo app!
- Tip: If you’re a parent or educator, share your lesson plans, ideas, or curricula with the rest of the Code Lab community to get valuable real-world feedback.
