Leading AI-Powered Smart Toy, ROYBI, Launches New Character DOCBI: A Companion Character to Coach Children On Best Health & Self Care Practices

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 15, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, Roybi Robot, the world's first AI-powered smart toy that teaches languages and STEM skills to young children, launches a first-of-its-kind, patent-pending companion character named DOCBI: a "scientist friend" who helps children stay in good health —and high spirits.

Using cutting-edge AI technology, the DOCBI character will be integrated into various lessons and interactive games to help children practice good hygiene while assisting parents as they navigate through the current environment, communicating this crucial information to children in a positive way.

Developed with recommendations by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), the DOCBI character delivers messages created to teach young children, not just about issues related to the current times, but continued health, self-care, and well-being. Through playful and engaging content, DOCBI teaches problem-solving skills, the scientific method and other research-backed information surrounding children's health.

"We're thrilled to introduce DOCBI, who was created in just three weeks time, to the ROYBI world and into your child's hearts," ROYBI Founder & CEO, Elnaz Sarraf shares. "This can be a scary time for both adults and children alike and we love the idea of our friend DOCBI helping to lighten that load for all of us." Practices from hand washing to healthy eating are reinforced in a very developmentally appropriate way with this new, friendly character. DOCBI reminds children to cover mouths when sneezing or coughing, to brush and floss teeth daily, and to drink water, among a multitude of other health-conscious reminders.

Roybi Robot is on track to become the global leader in speech recognition, cloud-based and offline real-time ASR intended to serve children all around the world. The ROYBI team is dedicated to developing innovative pedagogical practices through scientific research and digital ingenuity. With the addition of DOCBI, the ROYBI family introduces the first educational AI robot created to aid in the fight against COVID-19.
