# Interactive Animalistic Classroom Robots The 'MiRo-E' Educational STEM Robot is Responsive By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2020-05-27 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miroe References: [gadgetify](https://www.gadgetify.com/miro-e/) & [miro-e](https://www.miro-e.com/robot) The 'MiRo-E' educational STEM robot is a friendly solution for the classroom that will offer students a way to learn about a variety of topics and have fun in the process. The robot has an [animalistic design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-pet-robot) that is friendly for children of many ages to interact with, and will respond to their movements and actions. The animal-like behavior that the unit will perform includes purring, lighting up, ear movements and more. The 'MiRo-E' educational STEM robot is powered by a [Raspberry Pi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coderover-robot) at its core and is loaded with two HD cameras in the eyes along with a proximity sensor, light and cliff sensors, and accelerometers. The unit also has WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity with USB ports to boot.
