Wonder Byte is a Brisbane-based supplier of the UBTECH Yanshee humanoid educational robot in Australia for coding education, STEM programs and robotics research. Yanshee is a compact classroom-ready platform with 17 smart servos, an 8 MP camera, Raspberry Pi computing and open development access for Python, Scratch, Linux and ROS-based experimentation.
Yanshee is built for education and research teams that need more than a toy robot but less overhead than a full commercial humanoid platform. It gives students and developers a real jointed robot body, onboard sensing and open software access in a format that works in classrooms, maker labs and introductory AI projects.
17 DOF actuation · scripted motions · balance and posture demos
Yanshee uses a 17-degree-of-freedom servo system for head, arm and leg movement. It can walk, pose, dance and run repeatable motion sequences, which makes it suitable for teaching kinematics, motion logic and robot behaviour design.
Motion8 MP camera · voice interaction · sensor-rich classroom platform
The platform combines camera input, microphones, speakers, IMU and environmental sensors for vision tasks, human-robot interaction exercises and basic embodied AI experiments without needing a separate external hardware stack.
AI visionRaspberry Pi 3B · Python and Scratch · ROS and GPIO access
UBTECH positions Yanshee as an open platform for programming and secondary development. Teams can work with Python, block-based learning, Linux tooling, ROS concepts and hardware extension through the onboard compute and I/O access.
DevelopmentUse Yanshee when schools need a humanoid robot that can make programming more tangible. It is well suited to coding classes, sensor experiments, introductory AI activities and robotics clubs where students benefit from a visible physical response to their code. Programs that need a modular build-first format often compare it with the UBTECH UGOT AI robotic kit.
Yanshee works well in tertiary environments where teams want a smaller open humanoid for computer vision, interaction design, Linux-based development and robotics coursework without moving immediately to a larger high-cost research robot.
Suitable for robotics competitions, exhibition demos and outreach events where expressive humanoid motion and interactive behaviour matter as much as core software learning.
Useful in workshops and training programs that need GPIO, Linux access and a platform that can be extended for custom lessons, perception exercises or robot-control experiments.

As the local supplier, Wonder Byte helps customers in Australia move from product enquiry to an education-ready deployment. The exact scope depends on whether the requirement is hardware supply, classroom rollout, workshop planning or a development-led robotics program.
Wonder Byte supplies UBTECH Yanshee in Australia for schools, universities and training programs. Yanshee is positioned as an educational and development platform rather than a toy, with real servo-driven humanoid motion, onboard compute, camera input and open programming access.
Typical users include K-12 STEM programs, universities, maker labs, coding workshops and research teams that want a compact humanoid platform for teaching, demonstration or early-stage embodied-AI experiments.
Yes. The original WonderBot material positions Yanshee around Python, Scratch and open development workflows, which is a key reason it suits both entry-level teaching and more technical secondary-development use.
Yanshee is best seen as a compact education and prototyping platform. It works well for teaching labs, interaction experiments and introductory embodied-AI work, while larger research projects may later move to more capable humanoid hardware such as Unitree G1.
Tell Wonder Byte about the age group, learning objective, class size or research goal you want Yanshee to support. We can advise on suitability, rollout scope and where the platform fits within a broader robotics program.
