Robi, the AI avatar that conducts initial
safety Robolab training for students and
researchers
Areas: AI Avatar / EduTech / E-learning / Safety training
In late 2025, Pitch Avatar started collaboration with Robolab, an innovative initiative of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine. The project was launched to create an open, modern laboratory based in Kyiv National University of Architecture and Construction where students and researchers could develop their ideas, run experiments using specialized equipment, and build meaningful work.
Challenge
Before anyone could touch a single machine, they had to complete a mandatory safety training covering every piece of equipment, emergency procedures, lab rules, and unexpected situation protocols. These trainings are extremely important, but usually they are very formal and boring.
The challenge was to ensure that every student or researcher not only completed the training but also truly absorbed the information and stayed focused throughout the entire process, with all questions addressed in chat.
Solution
The Ministry of Digital Transformation partnered with Pitch Avatar to rethink the entire experience from scratch.
The brief was ambitious: transform obligatory tech instructions into something interactive, innovative, and genuinely engaging.
The solution was Robi, an AI-powered avatar crafted specifically for Robolab. Robi’s role was to explain how to use the lab’s equipment, what is and isn’t allowed in the lab, and how to respond to emergencies and other unexpected situations.
Working closely with the Pitch Avatar team, Robolab completed a detailed brief that guided Robi’s creation using AI: appearance, movement, and voice.
Once Robi had a face and a voice, we turned our attention to the content. Pitch Avatar team converted the existing training materials into structured, engaging scripts and presentations that Robi would deliver.
Results:
Robolab team can access detailed engagement analytics for every session: whether a student watched the full struction, which questions they asked, and where their attention drifted. This gives Robolab a clear picture of not just who completed the training, but how well the training is actually landing.
In numbers:
AI avatar designed and built from scratch in close collaboration with the client
A complete module of several lessons live and available to students
100% of lab visitors complete the same consistent, engaging induction
Next steps:
The first three lessons are live, but Robi is just getting started. Robolab plans to include additional lesson modules covering more of the lab’s equipment and procedures, as well as further evolution of Robi as an avatar. As the lab grows, so does Robi.
This project demonstrates that AI avatars have a meaningful role beyond sales and marketing. They are also highly effective in education, corporate onboarding, and public sector training.
