tbh There isn't enough interactivity to call it a "Social Robot" for today's standards, this is a toy 15 years too late. Usually an interactive robot for kids retails anywhere from $500 to $2000 or more. If they did have a legit social robot at $100 dollars it would've sold like hotcakes. Besides, their presentation and video demo looked like something they put together the day before the pitch. Maybe its the edit ,but we didn't get to see any "social and emotional learning" , it was just some kids flinging the doll around n talking to their parents on the phone, then cleaning their room. 😂

[@NaomiIsSoAwesome98]

I work in the childcare industry (work in a daycare and studying to become a teacher) and I also have a bachelor's in psychology. I agree that the toy industry must be super competitive, everyone wants to put a screen in a child's face but no one wants to talk about the consequences. Children DON'T NEED instant gratification. What they DO need is to play outside, learn to be patient, and play with games that are traditional. Building blocks have been around for so long yet they are still one of the best toys for kids. Anything that relies on batteries and such is usually garbage.

[@SuntzuMocro]

It can go hand in hand

[@Nocturnalux]

I don’t know, I’m sure blocks and the like have their uses but there are possibilities for electronics, including hand and eye coordination, learning opportunities and material geared at understanding technology itself that “traditional” anything simple cannot offer.

1/1200 for a product that costs $100 is actually reasonably good ratio, and they said it themselves, they have margin of profit after including advertising costs. the comparison doesent make much sense cause a hot dog is like $3 and its not a tv add, they are already at the stadium

[@Merrybandoruffians]

The sharks called it right the first time - this toy is a bad investment. From what I can see, there isn’t any real “interactivity” between the toy and the user. The toy just has prerecorded things that it can play that can be controlled remotely via smartphone. That completely defeats the purpose of the toy. Parents give their children tablets because the child can stay entertained by interacting with the tablet without parental intervention - so the parent is free to get other things done. If the parent has to issue remote commands, they’re still entertaining the kid. This toy SHOULD have been designed with an interactive VUI that allows the *kid* to speak commands and an AI that can understand, respond and learn the kid’s preferences so it can make intelligent suggestions for stories and songs during playtime (i.e., If the parents say “Hey Kodi, it’s bedtime” the toy would respond “It’s bedtime. Would you like me to read a bedtime story?). Even better if the toy also answered questions (i.e., Hey Kodi, how many stars are in the sky?) Kids already do this with Alexa and would probably be disappointed with Kodi’s limited functionality. Plus, as the sharks mentioned, Amazon already has years of AI and VUI development behind them, so if making it “cute” is the only barrier to entering the market, Amazon will quickly hurdle that before this company can even get funding. I noticed that this guy talked about his “background in tech” and “degree from Stanford” but was pretty vague about what that specifically means (he didn’t even say what he studied.) I wonder if he’s *actually* worked in tech or if he’s only participated through school and doesn’t have any practical experience. Unfortunately, I’m tech, there is never a shortage of recent grads with impressive degrees, but limited boots on the ground experience. They come up with these “innovative” products, but when the rubber hits the road, it’s clear they don’t really know what’s going on.

[@natha9412]

Look here's the thing, I agree that the three of them are an awesome team and human beings, but honestly I don't see how is this going to improve society and children. If they need more social interactions, then why not investing on improving the social and emotional skills of parents, teachers and children themselves, instead of hoping that a robot teaches them how to socialize? For me it's not good enough as it doesn't solve the basic need and real problematic we're living on, and for those reasons I'm out

[@karl6458]

They need to cut their cost down to $10-15 and then sell it for $30-$40 no parent, especially in struggling households, is gonna spend $100 on this

Mr wonderful just didn't say there is a toy factory in hell😂😂

All of these guys made sure they were name brand up to the hilt with the degrees.

[@jaimhaas5170]

Completely shocked that no sharks pushed the valuation number. Sales not worthy of value!

[@XvSKINNYvX]

Love watching their only accomplishments be their schooling, and how the sharks don't care. Life lesson right there. While education is important for some careers, it's not at all for others.

[@NunYaaBizz]

@@nikhilarora4571 why to you school = knowledge?

[@nikhilarora4571]

@@NunYaaBizz because you seek a higher education to become more knowledgable and specialized in certain areas that interest you.

they should be able to connect with each other like tamagochi it would be a game changer

It is a robot babysitter. Parents should get up and TALK to their kids for crying out loud. That's what kids need. It's a toy.

[@famousamos1123]

the problem is kids don't like listening to their parents. they'd much rather have a cute robot friend telling them what to do.

[@Site17]

It seems to be marketed as a companion. Instead of the stuffed animals I had growing up, this one tries to be educational. Sorry that doesn't fit your extremely narrowminded view.

[@TheAurelianProject]

Ok but what if their parents are busy at work?What if they have a single/divorced parent? Consider that if in either situation the parent(s) can’t afford a babysitter?

[@CheapQuickKitchenlessKeto]

I came out with a robot for toddlers in 2009 called CODIne - and it keeps them quiet for HOURS

[@jmass8699]

Why not just be grown adults who decided to have kids engage with your kids consistently to raise future adults?!?!?

[@abeltesfaye_]

RIGHT?! Too many let technology raise their damn kids!

[@daylate]

My kids have toys like that years ago...lol what a joke. They had bears that told stories in Chinese, English, sang songs, asked questions, only thing missing is the 2 way Bluetooth.

[@lucian300]

Yeah like the whole concept of teaching social interaction but it's a robot instead of a person is kind of messed up. I mean I get their point, it's an improvement over an iPad, but kids need to learn social interactions from people. I understand that parents can be busy, but in the past kids would learn and play with other kids a lot more, taking a lot of pressure off the parents. Now kids are just lonely and socially deprived.

[@tiffanylastinger3925]

As a grown adult with no kids... thats so cute

[@AJ-tk1uo]

They could make the face a screen, and that would allow for a lot more usability like adding small minigames

[@neilfarm]

They made it so kids woudnt go on screens :)
