Description

At first glance, KikoRobot.962 offers a distinct resemblance to the award-winning KIKO.893. But upon further evaluation, one cannot help but notice KikoRobot.962 is the bigger, faster, stronger version of the little yellow robot from 2018. KikoRobot.962 comes equipped with the same I/R (infrared) and AI (artificial intelligence) technology that made the older version a fan favorite. KikoRobot.962 features an improved gearbox and a new eight leg design, allowing the robot to reach higher speeds as it comically scurries around in both follow-me and explore mode, quickly leaving KIKO.893 in the dust.

Students will love having a friendly robot companion pursue their every move, or complete handmade obstacles with ease. Parents and teachers will look on with glee as their budding engineers ages 8+ complete this 192 piece STEAM kit and will be satisfied knowing that this playtime is both educational and, more importantly, fun! Requires 4 AAA batteries (not included). Dimensions of assembled robot: 5.31" x 5.12" x 7.09"

This robot is an amazing teaching tool to tap into learners' curiosity about engineering, motion, infrared waves and Artificial Intelligence. Building the robot allows students to examine the individual components of the whole robot.

There are two preprogrammed behaviors: 'Follow Me' and 'Explore', which allow young learners to observe and make predictions.

Building a maze invites all types of learning possibilities. This robot exhibits Artificial Intelligence as it interprets obstacles in its way.

Students of all ages can investigate how to interrupt the infrared light beam. This gives students the hands-on opportunity to learn more about the Electromagnetic Spectrum. Infrared Radiation (IR), sometimes referred to Infrared Light, are longer wavelengths than those of visible light. These wavelengths are generally invisible to the human eye.

Students can use a variety of materials such as paper, mirror, or clear Plexiglas to study how the robot's behavior changes as its infrared sensors interacts with matter.
