Introduction to ClicBot

ClicBot is an intelligent robot designed for kids & adults with built-in functions for education and entertainment.

ClicBot has a unique modular design, which makes it easy to assemble and disassemble, create all sorts of imaginative robots, and allows for thousands of programmable functional uses. This makes ClicBot is more than just a robot, companion, or even toy – but additionally as a means of creative expression, learning, and experiment. ClicBot is also alive with over 200+ unique interactions. With its big, blinking eyes, and sound module, ClicBot is able to interact with you in a very lively way. ClicBot can see, feel, hear, think, communicate, and perform lots of actions. Reaching out to pet its head will cause ClicBot to react sweetly towards you, while programming it to recognize

you will allow it to warmly greet you when you interact. You can also program ClicBot to react in specific ways, so you can be very imaginative in your creations.

Through the ClicBot App there are a variety of easy-to-use programmable tools, robotic design setups, and features that let you share your creations with the community. Build an exciting racing robot, cute animal companion, a wall climbing adventurer, a bionic explorer, and many other exciting possibilities.

ClicBot is designed to help children shape the future with STEAM learning. Through the app, there are two creative functions that allows for scripting programs in ClicBot, motion or ‘demo’ script, and drag & drop graphical programming. Motion script means users only need to make & save adjustments made to ClicBot in order
to play back the entire routine in an easy and smooth manner. For more intermediate and advanced actions, users can use the drag & drop graphical programming feature to create a wider variety of amazing programs and actions.

To help guide children in realizing the full potential of their ideas and creativity, the makers of ClicBot will produce a series of STEAM videos to better guide children on
how to build, program, and play with different robotic creations. Additionally, you can share your magical creations or search for inspiration through the ClicBot App Community. Simply upload your artworks, photos, code programs, or robotic designs for others to download and try for themselves!
