Miko 3

What it's for

The Miko 3 is an educational robot for children from India's Emotix. In hardware terms it is a touchscreen on a rotating base with a camera and microphone, run by its own app with an AI layer, Miko. The manufacturer aims it at children aged 5 to 12, with STEAM-style content and a parental panel. The main use is learning and entertainment at homes; in theory it could also appear in schools, but our sources do not confirm any such deployments. It is not a robot for programming or robotics classes: for learning to code, the kits described in “Educational Robots for Schools and Universities” are better. Important when buying: a robot with a camera and microphone relies on the cloud, so parents should read the piece on “Data Security: Robots with Cameras and the GDPR”. In Poland there is also the matter of language: we have no confirmation of Polish-language support.

Who it's for

Best suited to: families in India, and parents and collectors who understand the risks of importing. Who it is not for: the Polish buyer who expects a warranty, service and a Polish interface. The manufacturer does not confirm distribution in Poland or the European Union, and Miko is sold almost exclusively in India (Flipkart, Amazon India, JioMart). Also do not buy if you worry about cloud dependence: the story of the Moxie robot shows what happens when a manufacturer shuts down its servers. For schools and kindergartens in Poland, a better address is equipment with local support, collected in the category “Educational robots”.

Deployments

The manufacturer does not confirm distribution on the Polish or EU market. The robot is sold in India through retail platforms. In the category of companion robots for children, the known case is Moxie, which disappeared after its cloud was shut down. What reaches Polish schools is mainly coding kits, covered in “Educational Robots for Schools and Universities”.

Instead of the Miko 3, a Polish parent or teacher is better off with models that have distribution in Europe. The Moxie is conceptually close (a companion robot for children), but it vanished from the market after its cloud was switched off; in our catalog it is priced at around 3,097 PLN (≈ EUR 710 at NBP rate 4.3641 of 21 October 2026), so treat it as a warning, not a purchase. The LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Set is a build-and-program kit, roughly 2,250 PLN (≈ EUR 515) in our catalog, good for school. The Ozobot Evo is a small coding-education robot, about 678 PLN (≈ EUR 155) in our catalog. The NAO is a humanoid educational robot, popular at universities. The myCobot 280 is an arm for learning robotics, about 2,516 PLN (≈ EUR 575) in our catalog.

The Miko 3 was introduced in January 2021, and sales began in June 2021. Emotix, a Mumbai company founded in 2015, built an entire ecosystem of content and subscription around it. The third generation implies earlier versions exist, but we have no data on their specifications. Company profile: Emotix.
