Moxie, an educational robot, is designed for teaching kids at home. But it’s expensive: the robot itself is $ 1,500, and requires a $ 60 monthly subscription after the first year.

Moxie will teach kids ages six through nine using weekly themes and lessons. Parents will be able to control Moxie through a’parent app’.

Moxie’s data will be encrypted, with parents or guardians being the only ones able to access the data for their particular unit. Moxie has four microphones inside its head and a camera located on the front.

Several companies have tried to make friendly robots to interact with at home in recent years. Aibo, Sony’s $ 2,900 robotic pet, plus Jibo, was successfully crowdfunded only to flop a couple years into its life span.
