Education for a new century
We are passionate about computers and technology because our fathers gave us an computer (Amstrad, MSX, Spectrum,…) when we were young. We spent a lot of hours enjoying those magical devices. We learnt so much doing amazing things like “drawing a line in a green monitor” ;-).
We developed our passion professionally because of that (and, maybe, because of science fiction literature and movies). We would like to give children a similar amazing learning experience (updated to nowadays) and we think that the best way is to offer something new, special and magical. Artificial intelligence and robotics joined together can provide this: a more realistic, tangible, direct, immersive and fun educational experience. We would like to empower kids to explore and stimulate their creativity.
Education needs to adapt to current times and prepare our kids for the future, not giving the answers but promoting an attitude based on “learning to learn” and discovering how things work. Learning to enjoy to investigate, analyze, build, establish a hypothesis, experiment, discover, collaborate, share and communicate. To be successful means to answer to the following kids’ needs:
- Kids need to touch, play and experiment with real things (not only multimedia things) by themselves
- Kids need something new that surprises and engages them – something magical
- Kids need a personal strategy with things going at their own speed because of different levels and types of intelligence in the classroom as well as at home.
Current technologies (electronic boards, computers, tablets, electromechanical robot kits) do not fully fulfill those needs. Instead, Aisoy Social robots are real and magic, because they are interactive robots! In this day and age, a social robot has the power to engage like never before. And ours robots are the perfect way to adapt to every kid because they are emotional.
What is an Aisoy1?
The Aisoy1 is a very affordable programmable social robot (cognitive and emotional robots which use artificial intelligence). It is not a toy. It is a capable magic device that enables people of all ages to explore social robotics, and to learn how to program social robots in languages like Scratch, Blocky and Python. It’s is capable of doing most of the things you’d expect a social robot to do, from talking with you, to feeling if you touch it or move it, to seeing objects or faces and playing games.
The Aisoy1 has the ability to be social establishing emotional links with users and to interact with the outside world (physical, digital and electronic devices), and has been used in a wide array of activities where emotions are key, from robotics theatre plays to teaching maths and helping kids with autism. We want to see Aisoy1 being used by kids of all ages over the world to learn to program social robots and understand how they work.
Capabilities
Aisoy1 V5 has arrived! Combining the most advanced social robotics we’ve ever developed with the new mobile features, unleash your creativity to bring Aisoy1 to life with easy, intuitive and visual programming tools as Scratch.
Aisoy1 V5 can be programmed to talk, think, see, feel when you touch it, moving and many other things you can imagine. Aisoy1 V5 encourages your creative thinking while you imagine new challenges, discover how to solve them, create the solution, learn to code, code for fun and touch the results.

A personalized way to play learning
Kids can define how they want to play, what they want to know, and how they want to build. Aisoy1 can be there every step of the way giving it an emotional touch. Empower your child to program Aisoy1 into anything they imagine using its social capabilities as facial expressions or storytelling.
A more emotional way to interact with real-world
There is a lot of amazing things to discover out there, and Aisoy1 are ready help you to explore them. Program it to say things and express emotion when you touch it, draw an smile when it sees a face, dance around you when you asking for, or change its lights when it changes its position.
Enjoy science, technology, engineering, art and maths!
Code maths questions/ answers or memory games, discover how to make Aisoy1 move, feel and drive, learn trigonometry or physics with electronic add-ons, make a theatre play or transform your Aisoy1 in a magician. Doing all these things with Aisoy1, its accessories and creativity is easy and fun.

Visual and Simple
Aisoy1 can be programmed with Scratch and Blockly. They are a drag-and-drop programming languages that snaps together like puzzle pieces. Start by sending simple commands, learn programming concepts as you play, and progress to creating more complex algorithms using all Aisoy1 capabilities and add-ons to enrich them, among other languages as Python.
Endless creative possibilities
- Natural language: Explore Aisoy1 natural language capabilities in your creations. The natural and social way to communicate us.
- Vision: Use advanced vision artificial algorithms to include object and face detection and entry in other dimension.
- Mobility: Control the Aisoy1 Botmobile or other mobile device to explore how to make a line following robot, make a race or explore speed and acceleration concepts.
- Collaboration: Make that several Aisoy1 and other add-ons work together for introduce you in collaborative robotics.
