About Miko
Miko develops mobile companion robots for children, combining conversational AI with educational games, stories and interactive content. The device recognises faces and voices, moves on wheels, displays visual material and responds through speech, expressions and sound.
Parents manage profiles, time limits and communication through an application, while moderated content and subscription services add lessons and entertainment over time. The platform adapts interactions to a child's interests and progress and supports remote calls with approved contacts. Miko sells the hardware internationally as a home learning and play product.
