Product Description

Express yourself and give your Otto robot personality

The Otto Expansion Creator Kit contains all the electronic components you need to build an Otto robot. Ideal kit for 3D printer owners, because plastic parts are not included.

Discover the Expansion kit EMOTE, which allows Otto the robot to mirror human interactions and reactions and perform a range of emotions. Give your robot a soul and turn him into an engaging learning companion.

  • Show Emotions: Swap to an OLED screen to display faces, data, messages, numbers, games, and more.
  • Colorful Graphics: Enjoy visuals with a Color LED matrix for RGB retro pixel graphics, emojis, mouths, light effects, and scrolling text.
  • Play Your Sounds: Utilize the MP3 player with integrated buttons and a switch for direct control of voice and music files.
  • Voice Interaction: Give your robot a voice to talk or sing.

Remember that each Expansion kit is designed to work only when used with the Starter kit. Use of the Starter kit is therefore required.

The Starter kit is not included in the Expansion kit packaging.

Group use: Up to 2
