What is the name of Lego's programmable robotics system?

LEGO’s programmable robotics system is LEGO Mindstorms.

Mindstorms combines LEGO construction elements with motors, sensors, and a programmable control unit. Builders can create robots and then write programs that make them move, react to light or touch, follow lines, or perform other tasks. That combination helped introduce generations of students and hobbyists to engineering, coding, and robotics through hands-on building.

The first commercial Mindstorms set, the Robotics Invention System, was released in 1998. Later generations included the NXT system in 2006 and EV3 in 2013, each adding more capable programmable hubs, sensors, software, and connectivity. The platform drew on work involving LEGO and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Media Lab.

LEGO SPIKE is also a programmable educational robotics platform, so it can cause modern confusion. However, Mindstorms is the established name of LEGO’s pioneering programmable robotics product line, while LEGO Technic is primarily a mechanical construction system and LEGO BOOST is a separate coding-and-robotics range.
