It appears to be like like Miko’s participation in the Disney Accelerator is paying off in an enormous means, as the corporate is bringing Disney and Pixar characters to its Miko 3 robotic for teenagers. The firm launched its Disney collaboration right this moment, out there to prospects in additional than 140 nations.

The funky little robotic can play animated story books with tales that includes stars from “Moana,” “Frozen,” “The Lion King,” “Toy Story,” “Big Hero 6,” “Coco” and a bunch of different well-loved tales.

“Bringing the imaginative worlds of Disney and Pixar to our platform represents a big step in kids robotics” Sneh Vaswani, Miko co-founder and CEO mentioned in an e-mail to TechCrunch. “Miko is thrilled to be the first robotics platform to have such an innovative collaboration with Disney, and we look forward to raising the benchmark for kids engagement together.”

The firm has greater than 170 workers globally and workplaces within the innovation hubs of Silicon Valley and Mumbai. It was based in 2015, and was the one participant in Disney Accelerator based mostly in Asia. Disney’s accelerator “connects technology companies with the expertise and resources of The Walt Disney Company,” unlocking important model and advertising synergies. The firm says it’s the first to host an official Disney app on a children’ robotic platform.

Below is somewhat demo video the corporate produced, earlier than it added all of the Disney content material to the platform. Ugh, it’s so lovely — in case you want me, I’ll be over within the nook of the espresso store squee-ing to myself.
