Walking into Miko’s official Philippine launch in Pasig City felt less like a typical tech event and more like a glimpse into the future of everyday home technology. The venue welcomed a diverse mix of guests, all curious to see how AI-powered robots are redefining learning, play, and companionship. With interactive demonstrations and lively discussions throughout the event, Miko’s entry into Filipino homes was met with genuine excitement and interest.
That day, consumer robotics company Miko officially marked its grand entry into the Philippines, introducing AI companions designed not just for learning, but for genuine connection within the home.
A Robot Built for Families
Originally created to support smart parenting, Miko has evolved over the past decade into a brand that blends technology seamlessly into daily family life. During the launch, it became clear that these robots aren’t just gadgets—they’re designed to be companions.
“Miko products may come small and handy, but they fully represent the growing shift in lifestyle technology for modern families,” shared Anjily Praveen, Miko’s Key Account Manager, during her talk. She highlighted how AI is becoming a natural part of homes and how Miko’s robots bring that technology in a warmer, more human-centered way.
From the live demonstrations alone, it was easy to see why Miko has earned the trust of parents worldwide and the affection of kids.
Meeting the Stars of the Launch
Miko 3: A Child’s New Learning Buddy
One of the highlights of the event was meeting Miko 3, a compact yet expressive robot designed for kids aged 4 to 10. Watching it interact live—with curious questions, playful jokes, stories, songs, and even yoga moves—was impressive.
Powered by deep-learning AI, Miko 3 adapts to a child’s personality and learning pace. It is designed to “grow with your child,” offering not just entertainment but also building foundational skills in a fun and engaging way.
Some of its notable features include:
- A durable design built for worry-free playtime
- An interactive touch screen and advanced sensors that enable expressive, human-like interaction
- Curated content from Disney, Nickelodeon, and other trusted creators
- Enhanced data protection with an enclosed system and strong encryption
- Parental controls and progress tracking through the Miko Parents App
- STEAM-based learning activities, traditional games, and video-calling features
It’s a rare combination of learning, play, and emotional intelligence—something parents at the event were clearly excited about.
Miko Mini: Small Robot, Big Curiosity
Another crowd favorite was Miko Mini, a more affordable AI-powered companion also designed for kids aged 4 to 10. While it doesn’t have a touch screen like Miko 3, it makes up for it with voice-based interaction and an expressive display that reacts to every conversation.
Miko Mini focuses on sparking curiosity through STEAM education, blending science, technology, engineering, arts, and math into playful moments. Built-in music, dance, and mindful interactions help kids build confidence, rhythm, memory, and emotional resilience—all while having fun.
Designed as an ideal first step into technology, Miko Mini proves that learning doesn’t have to be intimidating—it can be joyful, safe, and engaging.
Miko Chess Grand: Strategy Meets Smart Technology
The launch also featured something for teens and adults: Miko Chess Grand.
Dubbed the world’s smartest AI chessboard, it comes with self-moving pieces and a powerful chess engine that adapts to a player’s skill level. Guests were able to see how players can challenge the AI across 20 difficulty levels, enjoy face-to-face matches, or connect with millions of players worldwide through the Square Off community.
With its sleek design and intelligent gameplay analysis, Miko Chess Grand brings a modern twist to a timeless game—making chess more exciting and accessible for everyone.
Beyond the Robots
Miko’s ecosystem goes beyond hardware. The brand also introduced Miko Max, a premium content library curated by child development and education experts. It features hundreds of learning games, educational videos, stories, puzzles, and music that further enrich the Miko experience.
Parents can stay actively involved through the Miko App, which allows them to monitor progress, manage content, and use parental control features—tools that support smarter and safer learning at home.
A New Kind of AI for Filipino Homes
As the launch came to a close, one thing was clear: Miko isn’t just introducing robots to the Philippines—it’s offering a new way for families to experience AI. One that values education, play, security, and emotional connection in equal measure.
