Alpha Mini – programmable humanoid robot with artificial intelligence

Description

The humanoid robot AlphaMini is the ideal platform for teaching AI robotic knowledge and applications at various levels. He can serve as both a versatile teaching assistant and an essential carrier for AI robotic curriculum delivery.

TEACHING ASSISTANT

AlphaMini can deploy customized teaching activities on either a one-to-one basis or in small groups. He can help educators to teach core subjects including reading, writing, math, English…as well as a wide range of fields linked to robotics such as mechanics, motion control and computer science.

INCREASING STUDENT ENGAGEMENT

AlphaMini has been designed to make its interaction with human beings as natural and intuitive as possible. He can easily build emotional links with teachers and students with his eye-catching appearance, vivid facial expressions and highly humanlike behaviors such as sneezing.

AI ROBOTIC CURRICULUM INCLUDED

Developed in conjunction with educators in this field, the curriculum of AlphaMini has been tested and optimized to impart AI robotic learning. Students can also foster teamwork, project management, problem solving and communication skills during the process.

STUDENTS CREATING THEIR OWN INTELLIGENT WORLD

AlphaMini is a fully programmable robot. Based on the “Learning + making” education approach, the AlphaMini platform allows students to learn and practice AI robotic technologies and skills, which leads to finally innovate.
