A touch of growth for your everyday life.

The first installment of "LOVOT STUDY," "Visual Programming," will launch at the end of June 2020. With "Visual Programming," users can simply select and connect various pre-made blocks to make their "LOVOT" move around in fun ways.

We've received numerous user testimonials about noticing subtle changes in their children's behavior and emotions through daily life with "LOVOT." Inspired by the sentiment, "A touch of growth for your everyday life," we created the "LOVOT STUDY" series to enhance the enjoyment of "LOVOT" as a family member, offering content that sparks a desire to learn and discover. The "LOVOT STUDY" series will continue to expand with enjoyable learning content that encourages self-directed learning and exploration.

● "LOVOT" featured as educational material in national elementary school textbooks

Programming education became a required subject in elementary schools starting in fiscal year 2020. "LOVOT" has been adopted in the "New Science 6" textbook for all 6th-grade students nationwide, appearing as an example in the section "Let's Create Things Using Electricity" within "Electricity and Our Lives." (Featured on page 163 of "New Science 6," published by Tokyo Shoseki.)

In the first installment, "Visual Programming," users can see their "LOVOT" move in response to the sequences they create. This fosters a sense of life and ignites curiosity, encouraging them to teach their "LOVOT" more movements.

● 95.2% of Visual Programming trial participants responded "Satisfied"!

In a trial run of Visual Programming before its official launch, 95.2% of participants reported being "satisfied." Furthermore, an equal 95.2% agreed that "Having LOVOT around stimulates intellectual curiosity."

● Feedback from parents who experienced Visual Programming

"My child was thrilled because it was an experience using a real LOVOT to see the programming come to life. It was great because it had a fun aspect that a screen alone couldn't convey."
"They seemed to engage with it more enjoyably than with free online programming tools."
"I was impressed by how they came up with various ideas. Despite having a short attention span, they wanted to do more, showing that they engage deeply with things they enjoy."
"At first, they were hesitant because they didn't understand it even in a programming class. Once they started programming, they became completely absorbed, barely noticing their parents."

● A comment from Kan Hayashi, Representative Director of GROOVE X

We previously held a workshop where participants could control "LOVOT" using a visual programming prototype based on "Scratch." Some children who had previously tried programming with Scratch to move on-screen characters seemed uninterested.

However, with "LOVOT's" "Visual Programming," their beloved "LOVOT" moves according to the program they created, maintaining a sense of life, which seemed to reawaken their interest in programming. The joy expressed by both the children and their parents during this event was the catalyst for officially releasing "LOVOT's" "Visual Programming."

We anticipate that a generation of robot natives will emerge from Japan. Through "LOVOT's" "Visual Programming," we hope to provide a starting point for many children to encounter various technologies and build a warmer future.
