Pubbo Air
Meet Pubbo Air: The Playful, Programmable AI Robot for Kids
Pubbo Air is an interactive educational robot designed for children aged 4 to 12, combining play, learning, and discovery in one engaging companion. Kids can play directly with Pubbo, use a controller for hands-on operation, or connect through the Pubbo App to access lessons, missions, and competitions. Equipped with multiple sensors, expressive displays, and dual play modes, Pubbo Air makes STEM concepts tangible through fun, hands-on experiences. Simple to start and easy to use, it encourages independent exploration without relying on parents. Beyond home learning, Pubbo Air also connects children to global real-time competitions, inspiring teamwork, resilience, and friendships that extend across borders.
What Is Pubbo Air?
Pubbo Air is more than a toy — it’s a companion, a teacher, and a builder of confidence. Here’s what makes it special:
- Multiple interaction modes: Kids can engage with Pubbo via voice commands, remote controller, or the Pubbo App.
- Gamified learning: The app offers lessons, missions, and real-time competitions, turning coding into quests, not just tasks.
- Expressive robot personality: With dual displays (a dot-matrix for expressions + a full-color TFT), quirky voices, and lively animations, Pubbo becomes a “playmate” — not just a machine.
- Smart sensors & tech inside: Pubbo comes equipped with 9 sensors (e.g. distance, light, color, sound, touch); a Cortex-M4 chip; Bluetooth 5.0; and more to enable obstacle detection, line-following, color recognition, and interactive behavior.
- Battery & specs: Dimensions are ~155 × 99 × 120 mm, weight ~611 g. Powered by a 3.7 V 2600 mAh battery, it can operate for up to 4 hours per charge.
- Safety & build: Made of ABS + PC materials and designed with kids in mind. It has passed safety tests to ensure suitability for children.
Why Pubbo Air Matters: Beyond the Toy Factor
Here’s what Pubbo offers beyond fun:
1. Early STEM Foundation
Kids get exposure to science, technology, engineering, and math through fun, structured activities. Pubbo helps them understand logic, cause-and-effect, and basic computational thinking.
2. Building Problem-Solving & Logical Thinking
Because interactions often involve tasks, puzzles, or challenges, children learn to break down problems step by step, experiment, and iterate — vital skills for future learning and life.
3. Encouraging Independent Learning
Pubbo is designed to be used without constant parental supervision. Kids can explore on their own, giving them space to be curious and self-motivated.
4. Global Connection & Collaboration
Pubbo supports real-time competitions with kids across the world, fostering resilience, teamwork, and cross-cultural friendships.
How Kids Can Use It: Scenarios & Ideas
- Daily missions & quests: Launch a new coding challenge every day via the app.
- Free play & exploration: Kids can talk to Pubbo, have it dance, explore their room, or interact through its sensors.
- Coding by levels: Begin with voice or remote commands; as kids improve, they can switch to Scratch-style programming.
- Robot competitions: Host mini contests at home, in class, or join app-based global events.
- STEAM-integrated projects: Combine Pubbo with art, storytelling, or engineering tasks (e.g. design an obstacle course, have Pubbo navigate it).
Tips to Maximize Learning & Fun
- Set up a schedule — allocate certain “Pubbo time” sessions.
- Mix guided & free play — alternate structured missions and open exploration.
- Encourage tinkering — let kids experiment, make mistakes, and learn from them.
- Pair with real-world tasks — ask kids to map their room and guide Pubbo through it.
- Celebrate wins — showcase completed quests, host family challenges.
