LOVOT Appears in Textbooks!

LOVOT, the family robot developed by the robotics venture GROOVE X, has been adopted for "New Science 6" (published by Tokyo Shoseki), a textbook used by sixth-grade elementary school students nationwide since fiscal year 2020.

LOVOT is featured as an example in the section "Let's Make Things Using Electricity" within "Electricity and Our Lives," as part of the programming education that became mandatory in elementary schools in fiscal year 2020 (Featured in "New Science 6," published by Tokyo Shoseki, page 163).

● Three New Features of "New Science 6"
(Reference:https://ten.tokyo-shoseki.co.jp/text/shou/rika/)
Feature ①: A textbook filled with "Huh?" and "Why?"
Feature ②: A textbook that inspires deeper thought and discussion
Feature ③: A textbook that makes science fun for both students and teachers

● Comment from Yo Hayashi, Representative Director of GROOVE X Inc.
LOVOT is not a robot designed to replace human tasks. It was created with the aim of being a partner to humans, to be close to their hearts and nurture their capacity to love. It was developed over four years using the latest technologies, including AI, to achieve a sense of being alive.

We are delighted that LOVOT is being featured in the learning environment for children across Japan in 2020. We believe that the emergence of numerous new industries from Japan that can stimulate children's imagination will lead to a future unimaginable today, 30 years from now. We look forward to a future where children, feeling a connection to science and technology through LOVOT, develop an interest in science and mathematics, and engage in self-directed learning and growth.
