Unplugged Coding Robots : ALUX’s VINU,

ALUX’s VINU, a standalone coding education device, has been recognized as a 2024 CES Innovation Awards Honoree in the Robotics category. This first-of-its-kind LCD-embedded unplugged coding robot offers an intuitive experience for all ages and it does not rely on a computer or separate device, as many other coding devices do.

Within the touchpad, VINU offers up more than 400 independent applications and seven implemented sensors so that users can explore the basics of coding in a fun and intuitive way. What’s more, modules can be added on to enhance the experience. While the Wearable Module builds on the experience with body movement detection, the AI Module transforms the unit into a self-driving car.

This coding robot has the potential to teach kids the skills they need to keep themselves entertained for hours, along with skills that could help them land a job one day.
