WhalesBot has announced US availability for Pubbo, an AI companion robot marketed for children aged 3 to 11. The company’s November 10 announcement combines conversational features with creative activities and introductory robot programming.
Pubbo has a 3.5-inch touchscreen, a 5-megapixel camera, dual microphones and touch-sensitive areas. WhalesBot says the camera can recognize objects, toys, colors and hand-drawn pictures, giving the device visual input alongside voice and physical interaction.
The company describes conversations about science, daily life and stories, plus tools that turn spoken ideas or paper sketches into digital artwork. These are advertised product capabilities; the release does not provide independent evidence of educational benefits.
A companion app adds remote control, coding quests and a visual programming mode for the robot’s lights, sounds and movement. WhalesBot says Pubbo supports iOS and Android, USB-C charging and over-the-air updates that can add activities and features.
The company directs US buyers to its own website but gives no price in the announcement. Pubbo joins a broader field of social devices, including the Ami companion robot previously covered by RobotsBeat, with this launch specifically targeting children and coding activities.
