Kitt the Learning Companion

Kitt the Learning Companion

Kitt enables learners to work independently, engaging with the robot to gather evidence of progress.

Teachers can differentiate effectively using Kitt by personalising the resources on each device.

Inclusivity and accessibility is at the heart of Kitt’s design. Teachers are able to customise each Kitt to the needs of his user through, adjustment of volume and brightness, full control of haptic feedback and utilisation of voice prompts. Kitt includes a braille cell on the centre button for ease of use. Kitt behaves like a Flash memory stick. When connected to a computer, either via USB cable (provided) or docking station, teachers can drag and drop audio, video and image files directly onto the robot. These can then be viewed and/or listen too, using the controls on Kitt’s tummy.
