Luka AI Reading Robot

First of its kind to debut in a preschool in Singapore, Luka is an interactive reading robot built with cutting-edge AI technology. It reads aloud bilingual picture books placed in front of him, page by page. In addition to over 20,000 English picture books and 70,000 Chinese titles stored in its sizeable cloud storage, Luka has the capability of voice recording, hence read-along sessions featuring a personalised voice can be customized. Best of all, Luka can even play music and sing nursery rhymes for children!

It develops their sequential thinking while encouraging creative problem-solving skills when engaging assigned tasks. Children also learn to reflect and persevere when faced with challenges which are essential mindsets for future-readiness!
