Overview

A rolling kids' robot whose head is essentially a small tablet with an animated face. It talks with children in eight languages, recognizes faces and voices, and runs a large library of learning games, stories, dance and block-coding apps, with a parent dashboard for limits and reports. Compared with Vector it is far less of an autonomous pet and more of a screen on wheels, and much of the content sits behind the Miko Max subscription. Miko says it is COPPA-compliant and kidSAFE-certified, yet in February 2026 US senators found an unsecured public database holding thousands of the robot's audio replies to children, some with kids' names, going back to December 2025. Miko denied any breach of user data and added a parental AI on/off switch days later.

A polished, kid-safe-by-design screen buddy for ages 5–10, but budget for the subscription and weigh the 2026 data exposure.
