Overview

A low-cost first humanoid for kids, built around block coding and an optional class.

A small servo humanoid for kids, sold by Faraday Future with an optional online course. It has an aluminium-alloy frame, 50+ preset moves and dances. It runs about 50 minutes per charge and connects over Bluetooth. Kids pose its limbs to record moves, then build them into block programs. It costs less than most servo humanoids, such as the TonyPi and AiNex. The trade-off is that it has no camera and no published SDK, so it stops at block coding.
