UBTECH Robotics Introduces STEM-Friendly Jimu
Robots for Kids and Teens in Singapore. 

Smart Robots. Smarter Kids. An interactive
robotic building block system that lets kids easily build, program and share
their robot creations.

Singapore, March 17, 2017 – UBTECH Robotics, the
company best known globally as the industry leader in artificial intelligence
and humanoid robotics today introduced a new line of STEM-friendly Jimu Robots
for kids and teens in Singapore. 

UBTECH’s Jimu Robot is an interactive robotic building block
system that lets kids easily Build, Program and Share their
robot creations:

·  Build your robot with
directed play for specific, pre-designed robots and open-ended play to create
whatever you can imagine.

·  Program your robot’s
movements with pre-set movements and controls to play with immediately, or
easily program it with the Jimu Robot App to make it move however you
like.

·  Share your robot
creations with Jimu’s online global community.

“Jimu Robots are a win-win for kids and parents,” said James Zhou, Founder & CEO, UBTECH. “Kids
love Jimu because the robots are fun to build and control; parents love Jimu
because their children are not only developing valuable STEM skills as they
build, program and code, but are also challenged to use and stretch their imaginations
as they design their own creations. Jimu truly is that rare gift that bridges
the gap between learning and pure fun.” 

UBTECH’s available line of Jimu Robot Kits in Singapore include:

Mini Kit (MSRP SGD 229) – Comes
with everything needed to build the Muzzbot or Ostrich or Bull robots including
four smooth motion robotic servo motors and 253 snap-together interlocking
parts and connectors.

Karbot Kit (MSRP SGD 259) – Comes with everything needed to build the
Rover or Crusher or Winger robots including three smooth motion robotic servo
motors, one infrared sensor and 276 snap-together interlocking parts and
connectors.

Buzzbot and Muttbot
Kit (MSRP SGD 299) – Comes with everything
needed to build the Buzzbot or Muttbot robots including six smooth motion
robotic servo motors and 260 snap-together interlocking parts and connectors.

Explorer Kit (MSRP SGD 379) – Comes with everything needed to build
five models including a Baby, Parrot, Penguin, T-Rex, and Walrus. The kit
includes seven smooth motion robotic servo motors and 561 snap-together
interlocking parts and connectors.

Inventor Kit (MSRP SGD 659) – Comes with everything needed to build six
models including an Elephant, Giraffe, Humanoid, Mantis, Rhino, and Wolf. The
kit includes sixteen smooth motion robotic servo motors and 657 snap-together
interlocking parts and connectors.

All Jimu kits include a main control box and a lithium ion
battery & adapter and feature:

·   Interchangeable Parts – All Jimu Robot parts are interchangeable with other Jimu
sets, so after building the official models, you can create your own inventions
by mixing with parts from any other set.

·  Servo Motors – The key to the
Jimu Robots’ amazingly lifelike movements is the high-torque robotic servo
motor, allowing for fluidity and stability when moving from one pose to
another.

·  Jimu Robot App – The free app
provides easy-to-follow 3D-illustrated building instructions, pre-programmed
actions, Pose-Record-Play and direct-servo programming, Blockly coding to
sequence your actions, and an in-App “Joystick” remote to
control your Jimu Robot in real time on your smart device. The app also serves
as a portal to a closed online community of Jimu enthusiasts.

Jimu Robot is a great way to engage kids in STEM curriculum
through robotics. The application of robotic functioning and programming will
get kids well-prepared for the future.

Jimu Robots were built from the ground up to specifically meet
the needs of STEM curriculum:

·  Science (physics,
electronics)

·  Technology (advanced
motors, sensors)

·  Engineering Arts (building
& creating, software-hardware interface)

·  Math (geometry,
balance and programming)

Jimu Robot teaches kids computational thinking and focuses on
the real world application of problem solving, expanding their understanding
and mastery of: 

·  Logical, lateral & spatial thinking

·  Problem-solving & planning

·  Creative & critical thinking

·  3D hands-on engineering

·  Team building & cooperation

·  Trial and error experimentation
