Miika KI is an innovative robot and experiment kit from Kosmos that provides a fun way for children aged 10 and above to approach robotics and artificial intelligence topics. The robot is equipped with a real artificial intelligence that children can train and control themselves. In this way, the training of artificial intelligence is explained and understood in an easy-to-understand way.
Miika AI can be easily trained and controlled using gestures or audio commands using the app. All you need to use the app is a smartphone or tablet. To make Miika AI a safe toy for children ages 10 to 14, the app only works locally, without internet, does not store images or audio files, and does not send data to servers.
For example, Miika can be taught to turn to respond when you snap her fingers or give a thumbs up. There are no limits to children’s creativity when dealing with Miika’s artificial intelligence. There are two types of AI that can be trained: A version that reacts to camera images from your smartphone or tablet, and a version that reacts to perceived sounds.
The robot has an LED display that can display text, symbols, and faces. Miika can move, blink, and make sounds. It is controlled via an app that operates offline to ensure data protection.
Miika KI offers children a fun way to experience future technologies and to learn about them. The experimental kit won the Toy Award 2023.
Scope of delivery includes components for robot assembly, a Bluetooth-enabled circuit board with LED display, two motors and instructions. Requires four 1.5V batteries of type LR03 (AAA, micro) for operation. The robot measures 425 x 265 x 79 mm and weighs 766 g.
Miika AI is an exciting and educational toy that gives children the opportunity to learn and understand the possibilities and limitations of artificial intelligence.
