How far would you go to gift your child a companion that not only engages them but also entertains and teaches them? We were used to regular and battery operated toys that fascinated us as kids. Then came the talking toys, that repeated what our kids said. Then, we told you about toys that answered all your child’s endless questions and even helped to cheer up your kid on a bad day. We are now at the next step- say hello to Miko- India’s first emotionally intelligent companion robot.

What is…err.. who is Miko?

Put together three IIT- Bombay graduates- Sneh Vaswani, Prashant Iyengar and Chintan Raikar-  with a penchant for robotics, and you’ll get Emotix- a tech start-up to address the social needs of Indian parents and children. The successful trio joined hands with mathematicians, artists, neuro-psychologists and engineers to create Miko- a companion robot for children. An extensive market research done by the team led to the findings that there was a greater need to bring robotics into the everyday lives of Indian families and children- that led to the birth of Miko.
