This release introduces our Avatar based milo robot, to be used in situations where a student is at home and cannot be physically present with the Milo robot. This update allows for a facilitator to select an Avatar of Milo to be used in lieu of a robot in these situations. Note that use of this feature remotely would usually also require a video chat session (Zoom, Chime, WebexWebEx, etc.) to be established between student & facilitator so that the facilitator can monitor the students progress.

Info

If you are running a lesson with a physical robot and the robot is not appearing in the list, troubleshooting steps would include:

  • Make sure that Milo is powered on

  • Run a network test and ensure the robot is connected.

  • If this is the first time using the robot after updating to the latest version, then the robot may need to be updated from Go to Utilities - Update Software and update the robot if prompted to do so.

  • Restart the robot and wait 5 minutes.

  • If the above do not resolve the issue, please submit a support ticket using https://www.robokind.com/support and the contact us link at the bottom of the page. Be sure to include the serial number of the robot. How-to Find a robot's serial number
