Features

Controlling with Gesture
Interactive Gesture Recognition: The robot reacts to your hand movements, so you can use gestures to control its movements, like moving forward or backward or turning left or right. This makes it fun for kids because they can use their hands to control the robot’s movements.

Remote control with 2.4GHz
Long-Range Control: You can move up to 19.68 feet away and still control the robot. There is a receiver on the robot’s chest that the remote controls talk to. For the best reaction, users should point the remote at the robot. Kids can control the robot from a distance with this function, which encourages them to play outside.
Programming the mind
Actions That Can Be Changed: The robot toy can be set to do a series of actions, such as turning left, right, sliding forward, and stepping backward, using the remote. Kids can use their imaginations and ideas by making their own action scenes and learning the basics of programming with this feature.
Play Features That Are Fun
Fun in Many Ways: The robot does more than just move around; it sings, dances, and tells stories. These parts make the toy more interactive, so kids can do more with it than just run a robot. The toy becomes a friend for kids and has many fun and useful features.
Easy to charge
Easy USB Charging: The robot has a 3.7V 350mAh Li-Po battery that can be charged and gives you up to an hour of playtime after just 60 minutes of charging. Using the Type-A USB cord that comes with it makes charging easy. This makes sure that the robot has a little break and is always ready to play.
Design That Lasts and Is Safe
Single-Piece Molded Design: The robot is made of a single-piece molded design that makes it strong and easy to control. That strong build makes it great for rough play, so kids can enjoy it without thinking about damage.
The Size of Robots
- Small but Strong: 4.33-inch width at the feet
- Widest point: 10.2 inches
- 12.2 inches tall The robot is the right size for kids to play with and move around with because it is this size.
Many uses and the chance to give as a gift
Ideal Gift: This robot toy is a great present for kids, whether it’s for a birthday, Christmas, or a surprise. It has fun features that kids will love exploring and enjoying.
Use in education
Getting Smarter Through Play: Kids can learn the basics of programming and problem-solving while having fun with the robot. When kids play together, they improve their motor skills, cognitive skills, and imagination. By letting kids share and work together, the toy helps them develop their social skills, logical thought, and fine motor skills.

Usage

Setup: Connect the robot to a power source and ensure all sensors are properly installed.
Programming: Use the provided software tools (e.g., Arduino IDE, ROS) to write control code.
Control: Send commands through the robot’s wireless interface, or program it to follow pre-defined behaviors autonomously.
Operation: Place the robot in an environment and monitor its interaction through live sensor data.

Care and Maintenance

Battery Care: Charge the robot after each use to maintain battery health, and avoid overcharging to prolong battery lifespan.
Cleaning: Wipe the robot and remote control with a soft cloth to remove dust and dirt.

Storage: Store the robot in a dry place to avoid moisture damage. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Sensor Maintenance: Clean the sensors periodically with a dry cloth to ensure optimal performance.

Troubleshooting

Robot Not Responding to Remote:

Ensure the remote is within range (19.68 feet).
Check the robot’s battery charge; recharge if needed.
