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.

Behaviour modes
Aisoy KiK is a robot for coding using Scratch, a visual programming platform.
Power button
Turn Aisoy KiK on: Press power on/off button to turn it on. You will briefly hear a sound and a white light
appears in the emotions heart during 20 seconds. Then, it starts flickering in blue and you can observe
the starting process on its mouth. This process will take between 1 and 3 minutes. This lets Aisoy KiK to
review the status, recalibrate and readjust the system. Aisoy KiK will be ready when it shows a smile and
the emotions heart appears in yellow.
Turn Aisoy KiK off: Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds, until you hear the sound that
indicates the shutdown process has started. In case of an emergency power-off, press and hold the power
button for 10 seconds, until it is turned off. Please, do not use this method unless it is necessary.

Sleep
Aisoy KiK goes to sleep if it does not detect any activity in a period of 10 minutes. You can reactivate it
with a “hug” (holding its body with both hands for 10 seconds).
MicroSD Card
Aisoy KiK includes a microSD card with Airos operating system. Please, do not remove the card because
this may damage your robot.To upgrade the robot, it is not necessary to remove it from the microSD slot.
Therefore if something occurs and you consider you should remove it, refer previously to the technical
support.
Including accessories in Aisoy KiK
An AC/CD power adapter is included, to apply electrical power to Aisoy KiK and recharge the battery.

Mouth
Mouth shows you specific information about what Aisoy KiK is feeling or doing at the momento. The
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.

necessary data to connect it to your smartphone or table. Two words will appear. The first one is the
name of the network you have to connect (p.e. aisoy-xxxxxx o aixxxx) and the second one is the
keyword to have access to it (p.e. emotions). Use them as if you were configuring a new Wi-Fi network
in your smartphone or tablet.

First steps with Aisoy KiK
‣Launch Aisoy Lab App. Once your smartphone or tablet is connected to Aisoy KiK, you can launch
Aisoy Lab App. After some seconds, you should see Aisoy1 in the robots list. If you cannot see any robot,
exit the App, set your smartphone or tablet in Airplane Mode, then turn this mode off and repeat this
step.
‣Set up Aisoy KiK‘s network connection. Once your Aisoy1 appears in the list, click on it. Go into
Settings > Wi-Fi and then, click on one of the networks in the list and introduce the password.This
process requires some seconds to reset the services in the new network. During the process Aisoy KiK
may change the emotions hear color. When it finishes, the emotions heart lights up yellow and shows
a smile in its mouth. You can check if it is connected to the new network pressing the touch button on
the back.
