PLEASANTON, Calif., Oct. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — For the last four years, a friendly little robot has been engaging, entertaining and educating children across Asia. Now, the bestselling Miko 2 robot is bringing the marvel of conversational, play-based learning to kids in North America for the first time—at a special limited time price of $299 guaranteed to make the holiday season even more magical. Miko 2 can be pre-ordered at Miko.ai in 3 attractive colors and will ship in December with guaranteed arrival for the holidays.

Miko 2 is the brainchild of Miko, an advanced consumer robotics innovation lab home to global educators, engineers and psychologists. “As a father, Miko’s mission is close to my heart. We hope to see children learn and grow with our product and are thrilled to bring it to North American families, especially after the interest and support that we’ve received in Asia,” said CEO Sneh Vaswani.

Miko 2 uses artificial intelligence and voice recognition technology to see, hear, sense, express, talk, recognize faces, remember names, identify moods, initiate a conversation and learn from its own environment to intuitively engage with a child. The robot is brimming with content that keeps little ones engaged in the educational process. From knowledge-based conversations and kid-friendly news to fun facts, quizzes and story apps, Miko 2 gives learners the best of children’s content, developed by educators for kids.

Parents love Miko 2
Parents can use Miko 2’s encrypted Teleconnect feature to engage with their child remotely.
