Blockchain game-based educational platform integrated into its own robotics operating system
Cubomania is creating an online platform for early childhood education that will allow creation and provide access to modern education programs. These programs will allow teachers, educators and other professionals involved in the sphere of education to fulfil their potential and help learners (aged 4-14) get acquainted with gamification and discover a completely new system of obtaining knowledge. Cubomania started as an IoT Smart-toy. However, the idea of an AI-based virtual character that interacts with kids based on their individual characteristics opened up an opportunity for the ultimate blockchain platform development and a new type of content creation. The Cubomania eco-system includes the following elements: CuboBuddy (a hardware product), CuboApp (a mobile application), blockchain educational platform (online Workshop + Cubo Store) and CuboCore (Robot Operating System).CuboBuddy, a robotic educational toy, is the first element of the Cubomania blockchain eco-system. The main purpose of the toy is to provide complex interaction between a user and an AI-basedcharacter with integrated educational programs. CuboApp is a mobile application that connects the source of educational content on the blockchain and the CuboBuddy educational toy. CuboApp can also be used for accessing educational content independent of the toy, which can be regarded as an extension of the CuboApp.Blockchain Cubo Store and Cubo Workshop are the key elements of the eco-system. Blockchain mechanics combined with the platform interface is expected to ease the process of content creation and distribution as well as grant teachers and pedagogues maximum protection of their intellectual property. CuboCore™ Robot Operating System is a robot operating system with builit-in educational programs that can be installed on any kind of IoT based devices: drones, toys, robot constructors. CuboCoreprovides full integration with the Cubomania educational platform.
