“The response to MeeBot 1.0 has been tremendous,” said John Rhee, senior vice president and general manager, UBTECH North America. “We clearly tapped into something special – the intersection of kids’ love for robots with the opportunity to learn, create, and code in a simple and intuitive yet powerful way. Since 2016, interest in and importance of STEM learning has only grown, so we felt the time is right to level-up MeeBot with even more technologies to teach and inspire kids about STEM.”

MeeBot 2.0 Kit is now 30% bigger and adds exciting new, programmable technologies including two programmable LED “eyes” and a codable color sensor that responds to included color cards or other colorful objects to make your robot really move. Also included are six smooth motion robotic servo motors, plus a new gear system that provides an opportunity to learn more about engineering movement and motion. This programmable, dancing humanoid robot can be built in a snap with the JIMU app for your iPad or iPhone (iOS 9.0 or later required), including 3D, 360-degree, step-by-step instructions and easy-to-learn Blockly coding. MeeBot 2.0 Kit is a great introduction to robotics and STEM learning in a fun, engaging, humanoid form factor.
