Talking toys that can learn new skills? We’re closer to it than you think!
The new 2XL cobot (collaborative robot) is ready to be a true friend to kids everywhere. The robot toy from Mego 2, a collaboration between Mego and D1srupt1ve, features artificial intelligence (AI) that lets it learn every time it talks to someone. The toy is designed to hold full conversations with kids ages 5 and up.
The original 2-XL, made by Mego in 1978, shook things up as an early example of a smart toy. Kids could interact with the toy using a series of buttons on its stomach to answer questions.
The new 2XL cobot utilizes AI technology to offer kids a conversation partner that actually learns. The robot toy can create stories, talk about a number of subjects, and speak more than 30 languages. Parents can add custom guardrails to ensure topics stay safe and secure. The toy has a light-up face with varying expressions and can be set to make conversation or tell stories.
Mego 2 is ready to shake up the world of tech toys with this release. Kids will make a new conversation buddy and maybe learn some things along the way thanks to the 2XL cobot!
