They trusted us:

„I would like to thank ASTOR, Mr. Marek Niewiadomski and Mr. Przemysław Trzop for their help with the purchase of the Kawasaki Robotics ASTORINO robot, consultations and training. The Kawasaki Robotics ASTORINO educational robot generates great interest among students. It is currently being used for programming. In the near future, I also plan to use it during mechatronic devices disassembly and assembly classes. Once again, thank you very much for your professional approach and expert advice.”

- Dr Eng. Rafał Karaś Teacher at Technical School No. 1 in Krakow, Poland

Kawasaki Robotics ASTORINO helps learn operation and programming of robots for students and pupils just like for robotics technicians and engineers.

Kawasaki Robotics ASTORINO 6-axis educational robot based on 3D printing - is a unique design by Marek Niewiadomski, a graduate of the Faculty of Engineering and Robotics at AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow, Poland.

With the robot you receive outstanding technical support, user manuals, instructions, lesson outlines for the teachers, rapid parts replacement. We also offer dedicated training.

Where are Astorino robots?

Polish innovation in teaching robotics
Now in Japan
ASTOR at World Expo 2025 Osaka, Japan

Astorino educational robots were presented at the Poland Pavilion from April 22nd-26th 2025

Cooperation between ASTOR and Kawasaki reached a new level

Astorino robots were shown in two applications:

Mini production line of the Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle

Interactive RPG with the Wawel Dragon

Kawasaki Robotics ASTORINO: robotics classes in Mielec, Poland

I hadn't found such a robot, so I've invented it... so that everybody can learn having fun and gaining experience for future education and profession.

Marek Niewiadomski Kawasaki Robotics ASTORINO robot's inventor and constructor

The brand belongs to Kawasaki Robotics. The manufacturer of Kawasaki Robotics ASTORINO robots is ASTOR, a company that for 35 years has been helping manufacturing companies improve the efficiency of processes in industry, manufacturing and infrastructure through automation, robotisation and digitalization. It actively supports the education industry. More than 400 laboratories at nearly 200 schools and technical universities in Poland have automation and robotics solutions in cooperation with ASTOR. ASTOR is also an operator of Kawasaki Robotics CEE Hub.

What will you gain thanks to cooperation with us?

1. Your school/college will have a modern and user-friendly robotics lab

2. You will attract teachers open for innovative teaching methods

3. You will attract many smart pupils and students who want to be engineers

„We attended the Kawasaki Robotics ASTORINO training. The teacher - inventor Marek Niewiadomski - created student-friendly environment and taught us a lot about the robot. After presenting the basic introduction and robot coordinates system, we learned to how create basic programs. Also, everybody has created some programs with the teacher, who was always ready to answer the questions. He also told us about the robot versions and new equipment, which is planned for various robot applications. Afterwards, we had a small sightseeing in the robotics showroom and the the robot's production zone. To sum up, Kawasaki Robotics ASTORINO is an excellent solution for the education sector. Not only because of the technical parameters ideal for safe education or attractive price, but also because the lesson outlines for the teachers. We appreciate this professional training and we hope to take part in other trainings for robotics teachers.”

- Sławomir Szymanowski Robotics teacher in Secondary Technical School in Ostrow Wlkp., Poland

Kawasaki Robotics ASTORINO. Educational robot for industrial programming skills.

Kawasaki Robotics ASTORINO allows for professional education at technical universities. Theoretical education transforms into practical education and knowledge. Kawasaki Robotics ASTORINO robot is safe for education and teaches skills for programming of industrial robots.

Dr Eng. Robert Cieślak Head of the Department of Technical Sciences, Applied Sciences Academy, Konin, Poland

Cooperation of our school with ASTOR and Mrs. Malgorzata Hadwiczak is a real pleasure. Working with Kawasaki Robotics ASTORINO allows for innovative and interesting education of pupils and students. Almost every technical school can afford this robot.

Dr Eng. Witold Krieser Academic teacher and technical ZST school teacher in in Bytom, Poland

Kawasaki Robotics ASTORINO robot allows to teach robotics at schools and universities at a level not possible before. We are changing the availability ratio from 15 students per 1 robot, to 2-3 students per 1 robot.

Main features of this educational robot:

– an educational robot with 6 degrees of freedom (like an industrial robot),
– 99% of the robot construction parts are 3D printed (popular PET-G filament),
– built-in control system (microcontroller in the robot base),
– industrial robot development environment: dedicated firmware, software and code editor,
– the possibility of implementing external sensors and input-output pins,
– the possibility of additional options and functions, e.g. vision system, cube feeder with optical sensor, robot track (7th axis), 3 kinds of grippers, 24 V I/O module with power supply,
– brakes on the 2nd and 3rd axis (fall protection in the event of loss of power),
– motor control via 3 signals – Pulse/Direction/Enable,
– STL files supplied with the robot for self-repair/printing of 3D print damaged parts,
– training cell can be equipped with a mounting plate, worktable with a set of function keys with full assembly service,
