WeeeCore Bot AIOT Voice Programming Robot Weeemake

WeeeCore Bot: a STEAM educational robot featuring AI-powered voice programming

The WeeeCore Bot is an educational robot on wheels controlled by a WeeeCore AI Handle controller based on an ESP32 chip, with built-in Wi-Fi, WLAN and dual-mode Bluetooth. It starts up in voice-coding mode: simply say "Hi Vivi" or "Hi Bot" to give it voice commands without any programming. For more advanced users, it can be programmed in Scratch 3.0 and microPython via the WeeeCode software, and its IoT capabilities allow you to create your own apps with App Inventor.

It features an offline voice recognition sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a gyroscope, a light sensor, quadruple line-following, a 5-way joystick, a microphone, a speaker, a colour screen and 5 RGB LEDs. Its 14500 lithium battery offers 2.5 hours of runtime on a 40-minute charge. It can also draw using the included colour pen. The whole unit fits into a box measuring 142 x 141 x 93 mm and weighing 485 g.

ESP32 STEAM robot with offline voice coding, Scratch 3.0, microPython, Wi-Fi IoT, line following, gyroscope, colour screen, 2.5-hour battery life and drawing pen included. Suitable for children from nursery school to sixth form.

What the WeeeCore Bot enables users to learn and create, depending on their level

• Offline voice coding from nursery school onwards: simple voice commands without the need for programming or an internet connection
• Drawing with coloured pens included to incorporate the arts into STEAM projects
• Scratch 3.0 programming for primary and secondary school pupils using the WeeeCode software
• microPython for advanced users and secondary school pupils
• IoT Wi-Fi and APP Inventor for creating your own mobile apps connected to the robot
• Voice-activated quad-line sequencer for automation projects
• Multiple sensors: gyroscope, ultrasonic, light, offline voice recognition and 5-way joystick
• Expandable interface: 1 Type-C port, 2 RJ11 ports and 4 open-source 3-pin ports for connecting additional modules
• Rechargeable 14500 lithium battery: 2.5 hours of battery life, charges in 40 minutes

In nursery school, pupils wake the robot up using their voices and ask it to draw a square or play music without touching a screen. In technology lessons at secondary school, they programme line-following using Scratch 3.0 and observe the gyroscope readings in real time on the robot’s colour screen. In sixth form, they switch to microPython to create their own navigation algorithms and connect the robot to a mobile app via Wi-Fi.
