The robotic toy is engineered for children aged seven to 13 and acts as a STEM and coding education solution that will support kids in their endeavors when learning or playing. The robot is powered by AI and seeks to integrate the same technological capabilities as the original Sophia the robot into a miniature household version that will surprise and delight children each time they use it.

The 'Little Sophia' robot toy is suitable for children of all genders, but is specifically focused on girls to help make STEM education more applicable for them.
