Life is feeling, connecting, learning, getting excited and provoking emotions.
That’s why we have created a robot for feeling those emotions. Congratulations!
We are glad to introduce you Aisoy KiK. It has social capabilities and a complex
technological architecture, that, among others, allows them to be coded:
‣Expressing emotions
‣Reacting to what happens in its external environment
‣Talking.

needed codes regarding to this information are included in the corresponding module of the guide. It
also provides control information.
Touch sensors
Small touch sensors are integrated in Aisoy KiK‘s back and both sides of its body. As a result, Aisoy KiK
knows when somebody touches or hugs it, among other functions.
Accelerometer
Thanks to this sensor, Aisoy KiK is able to know its 3D inclination, with values on the X, Y and Z axis. This
lets Aisoy KiK to know when it is being turned or shaked.
Mobility grades
Aisoy KiK is able to move its head and show its feelings with these movements. It uses 4 basic
servomotors:
‣Head rotation: left, right, up and down.
‣Eyelids: opening and closing.
‣Eyebrows: up and down.
Emotions Heart
It can show you any color combination. Aisoy KiK normally uses it to reinforce some kind of information,
as the emotional state (happiness = yellow).
6
Ojos
Aisoy KiK has 3 Mpx USB camera in its left eye, which is very usefil for artificial vison tasks, such as face
detection and object recognition. Next to it, there is a microphone that allows to capture surrounding
sounds, as human voices or music.
Speaker
A small speaker is included in Aisoy KiK, in order to be listened when it speaks, plays some music or
sounds. It is designed to provide a close relationship, so if you want to use it in a noisy environment, you
will need an external speaker. To that end, there is an audio output in its back.
Battery
Aisoy KiK includes a rechargeable high-performance lithium-ion battery. Battery life is higher than 2
hours usually.
Battery charge: When Aisoy KiK is turned off, connect it to a power outlet using the supplied power
adapter. Charge it two hours. During this period, a red LED next to the power connection will indicate it is
being charged. When fully charged, the red LED will change into blue. Disconnect it and turn it on.
You can use the robot while charging, but charge time will vary depending on the use.
