Build a robot team building: one robot, the whole team

Pedro Diezma

Activity designed by Pedro Diezma, coach and head of team dynamics and training at Acuilae.

Discover this build a robot team building activity, designed to transform the way teams collaborate and communicate. This unique activity comes in two formats: Standard and Advanced, both created to immerse participants in the exciting world of technology and robotics.

It is one of the tech-based formats of our team building in Madrid, and the team keeps the robot.


Through the collaborative building of a robot, participants strengthen team bonds and also spark their ingenuity and creativity. By tackling challenges that range from basic engineering to integrating advanced artificial intelligence systems, this experience encourages active, hands-on learning, ideal for companies that want to go beyond conventional team building activities. Get ready to lead your team on an adventure that redefines cooperation and innovation in the corporate world.

DESIGNING AND ASSEMBLING THE ROBOT

In both formats, Standard and Advanced, the core of this activity is building a robot. This build a robot team building invites participants to dive into a creative, technological process that is accessible to everyone, whatever their previous experience with technology.

During the activity, participants will split into groups, each in charge of a specific part of the robot: arm, body, head and others. This format ensures that every team member can contribute actively and feel an integral part of the project. The robot build is also complemented by a series of workshops and tech challenges, including a short robot dog race, which add an element of fun and learning to the process.

The high point of the activity is the final assembly, where all the individually built parts come together to bring a fully working robot to life. Equipped with motors and servos, the robot can move and will also interact through a virtual assistant, providing an interactive and rewarding experience.

This hands-on, collaborative approach improves teamwork skills while showing how technology can be accessible and stimulating.

CORPORATE ROBOT: STANDARD VERSION

As well as creating the robot in the activity we have just described in the previous section, in the standard version of our Build a Robot Team Building you will also take part in complementary workshops that enrich the experience:

- WOW talk:

At Acuilae, we recognise the growing importance of emerging technologies in our professional and social lives. That is why we have added to our Build a Robot Team Building a talk given by experts, where participants will discover and try out the latest innovations, including Artificial Intelligence, the Metaverse, Robotics, Virtual Reality, the Internet of Things, Wearables, Drones and Augmented Reality.

This experience offers a practical view of these technologies and also the chance to discuss, test and assess how they can be applied and what benefits they bring, in an interactive and educational setting. It is an excellent way to keep up with rapid technological progress and encourage innovation within your team.

- QUADRUPED ROBOT:

Our advanced quadruped robot is a centrepiece of our Build a Robot Team Building and gives the event a futuristic touch. This robot grabs attention with its autonomous navigation and gesture recognition, and it also performs spectacular moves that enrich every interaction. Perfect for livening up any meeting or event, this robot brings a dimension of technology and entertainment that encourages interaction and amazement.

Its ability to interact autonomously means every participant takes away a memorable and unique experience. This robot guarantees a lasting, positive impact on all attendees.

- Robot Dog Team Challenge:

Each team will split into groups of 2-3 people, who will combine their skills to build a small  dog-shaped robot. At the end, the teams will hold an exciting race to test the speed and agility of their robotic creation.

- 3D pens:

Explore your creativity with the 3D pen, a tool that lets you draw in three dimensions. In this workshop, we will teach you to use a 3D pen to create three-dimensional pieces and accessories. These creations, which can be glasses, bows, ties, etc., will become part of the final robot, letting you see your ideas take three-dimensional shape and giving the robot a unique look.

CREATING A VOICE ASSISTANT

A large part of our Build a Robot Team Building is the voice assistant creation workshop. In it, participants dive into voice interface design and user experience. They will learn to customise a voice assistant, turning our robot into a unique companion with its own character and communication style. During the workshop, they will explore how to:

  • Think about different personalities for the robot.
  • Create detailed personality profiles, including tone, language style, values and distinctive features.
  • Design interactions consistent with the chosen personality.
  • Develop responses and actions that reflect the assistant's personality.
  • Test and adjust the interactions based on feedback to perfect the experience.

At the end of the activity, this assistant will be added to the robot you have built, bringing it to life.

Take your robot to the office!

As a special extra in our Build a Robot Team Building, we offer you the option of keeping the robot your team has built.

It is a perfect way to bring a tangible souvenir of an unforgettable experience back to your workplace, where it can serve as a constant reminder of the teamwork and creativity on show.

CORPORATE ROBOT: ADVANCED VERSION

In our advanced version of the Build a Robot Team Building, we take the robot-building experience further by adding a series of tech workshops ranging from augmented and virtual reality to generative artificial intelligence, as well as drone workshops.

AUGMENTED AND MIXED REALITY + GADGETS

We explore the fascinating world of augmented reality (AR), where participants experience the blend of the real world and virtual elements using the latest gadgets, such as:

  • • Interactive T-shirts.
  • • Paintings that come to life.
  • • Smart glasses.
  • • Our neural headset, which measures brain waves to assess and improve concentration during the activities.
  • • And much more!
  •  

This approach impresses participants and captures their imagination, and it also shows how technology can enrich our everyday interactions and personal development.

VR HEADSET WORKSHOPS

We will bring virtual reality headsets so that all attendees can try a variety of experiences and activities.

  • • Become a Jedi: An adventure where augmented reality and a lightsaber come together to create dynamic challenges.
  • • Deactivation: A game where teams work together to defuse a virtual "bomb", using only a manual and their coordination to solve the puzzle.
  • • Sports experiences: Tennis, baseball, boxing…
  • • Explore space.
  • • Play an exciting shooter game.

DRONES FOR EDUCATION AND ENTERTAINMENT

In our drone workshop, participants get a complete experience, learning everything from how a drone is assembled to how to fly one. These workshops educate and also entertain, ending with challenges that test piloting skills and teamwork.

GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE


This activity will be complemented by creating the virtual assistant, focusing on teaching participants to create digital avatars using advanced artificial intelligence tools. The process covers everything from choosing physical features to defining the avatar's behaviour and interactions, making sure each one faithfully represents the company's culture and values. This approach enriches the corporate identity and strengthens the emotional connection with technology.

This workshop encourages creativity and offers a practical view of how artificial intelligence can be applied creatively.


Each of these activities strengthens our Build a Robot Team Building approach, giving teams unique opportunities to learn, innovate and connect through advanced technologies. These workshops improve technical skills and also encourage effective collaboration and adaptability in changing environments.
