Typology
Technological
Resource description
Versatile, cross-curricular robot that facilitates autonomous learning for students. Kitt is a customizable device capable of adapting to the characteristics of the child.

It can be used by educators to teach students from inclusion. Kitt can explain stories, make audio recordings, take pictures, record videos and watch the video on the screen of the robot itself.

When Kitt is used in the classroom, students learn actively, autonomously and with motivated interest. Also, it is a robot with camaraderie features such as moving eyes, sweet voice and has response to movement and touch. These features help to improve children's engagement with the proposed activities.
Sample of use in education with students with IDD
Kitt allows students to work independently, engaging with the robot to collect evidence of progress. Teachers can effectively differentiate using Kitt by customizing the resources on each device. Inclusion and accessibility are at the heart of Kitt's design. Educators can customize each Kitt to their user's needs by adjusting volume and brightness, fully controlling haptic feedback, and using voice prompts.
